Fuel Systems and Contamination Research

The Fuel Systems and Contamination Research Section in the Fuels and Lubricants Technology Department operates a 5,000-square-foot laboratory dedicated to fuel contamination research and testing. The facility consists of more than 4,200 square feet of laboratory space, containing 12 automated test cells. Of these cells, nine are dedicated to gasoline/flexible fuel testing, two to diesel testing, and one to hybrid fuel cell testing. Using an automated fluid heating and cooling system, test temperatures can be varied from -40 to 80 degrees C (-40 to 170 degrees F).
