Testing Levels
Level 1	A contamination check resulting from poor performance or component damage. This incorporates water, sediment and a basic assessment of the appearance of the fuel.
Level 2	A quality check for conformance to specification. This Schedule will provide a definitive conclusion on the fuels fitness for use. The analysis determines the fuel quality when sourcing causes of performance problems (low power, smoking, component damage, etc.) It indicates poor fuel quality due to contamination by light or heavy grade products such as kerosene, petrol, solvents, wax, oil etc..
