B3C introduces gasoline test kit

At GIE+EXPO 2011, B3C Fuel Solutions presented the first complete fuel diagnostic kit that quickly identifies fuel-related problems. The new Mechanic In A Bottle Gasoline Test Kit is designed to give you and your customers a complete understanding of fuel quality and an education about the effects of ethanol.

The kit includes the following seven easy fuel tests that can be performed to identify ethanol fuel-related problems, quickly diagnose repairs, and end warranty disputes:

1. Gas Quality Test Swabs: quickly test fuel quality and level of decay of 2- and 4-cycle gasoline that contains ethanol and determine if the fuel is fresh, stale, or bad

2. 2-Cycle Oil Indicator Test: indicates the amount of oil present in a 2-cycle gas/oil mixture

3. Diesel Fuel Quality Test: determines the quality of diesel fuel

4. 2- and 4-Cycle Gas Test: determines the quality of non-ethanol fuel (highly sensitive test)

5. Phase Separation Test: detects phase-separated ethanol-blended gasoline and provides immediate results to show customers

6. Oil Quality Test: illustrates why customers should change their oil more frequently

7. Bound Water Test:  Indicates the amount of water present, prior to phase separation

This kit allows you to become the “expert” in fuel-related issues while providing a higher service level to your customers. The tests also provide third-party verification as to why a warranty should or should not be submitted to the manufacturer, helping resolve conflicts while educating customers. This is powerful when combined with B3C’s POS material such as its ethanol education and “Test Your Gas” poster you receive as a B3C Authorized Dealer.
