Fuel Adulteration and Fuel Contamination is a widespread problem in the construction and in the mining business. Determining oil quality and diesel dilution in lubricating oils is also very important, as it might have severe effects on expensive machinery.
Analyzing Fuels & Lubricants is important for Construction and Mining ...
... because a huge number of million-dollar machineries including trucks, lorries, excavators and power
generation units is used.
