Professional Biodiesel Testing Services
Utah Biodiesel Supply in partnership with FuelOnly, a state-of-the-art Biodiesel testing lab,
is now proud to offer you the ability to affordably test your Biodiesel against the ASTM standard!
If you've ever wondered about the quality of your biodiesel
or are just curious to know how well
your production equipment and process is working, then you've come to the right spot.
Why Test Here?
There are several labs out there that can test your biodiesel.
Here's why we believe you should test your fuel with us.
Affordable Pricing
We know that most people are trying to save money by making Biodiesel so we pulled out all
the stops in negotiating for the absolute best pricing for high quality ASTM Biodiesel Testing with FuelOnly. We spent
several days with FuelOnly negotiating for what we believe are some of the best prices you'll find
in the market. Because they have an interest in home-brewers, we were able to negotiate for their
absolute lowest volume discount pricing for our customers. We're sure you'll notice the difference too!
ASTM Testing Methods
You can rest assured that FuelOnly will test your fuel the right way!
FuelOnly participates in the acclaimed ASTM interlaboratory
cross check program and only tests fuel following the correct biodiesel
testing methods as defined in the Biodiesel ASTM standard.
You'll also get easy-to-read results with each ASTM test method clearly displayed.
Fuel Testing Is All FuelOnly Does
FuelOnly was built from the ground up with one thing in mind; FUEL TESTING!
By focusing only on fuel testing and analysis they're able to provide superior
analysis and results and dynamite customer service.
Easy To Use Kits
Unlike other labs that make you send your fuel in using your own containers, FuelOnly will
actually send you the kit to use. You'll not only receive a kit but a pre-paid label to send
it back with. The kit is completely standardized and includes easy to follow directions.
You simply sample your fuel, box it up and ship it back to FuelOnly for analysis.
Once it gets to the lab it's tracked electronically and tested automatically
to ensure the highest level of testing.
State Of The Art Equipment
FuelOnly started out with the belief that the test results are only as good as the equipment
it's tested on. With this in mind, they set up one of the most top-notch, state-of-the-art
Biodiesel testing labs in the United States. All of their equipment is brand new, completely automated
and extremely accurate.
Extremely Fast Turn-Around Time
FuelOnly has an incredible turn around time!
How does 48 hours sound? Not 3 days to 2 weeks like most labs, but 48 hours! In fact, from the time
your sample arrives at their lab most tests will only take a maximum of 48 hours to get your results
back. Unlike other labs that make you wait for your results to show up in the mail, FuelOnly will
actually email your results to you! How's that for fast?

Biodiesel Testing Packages
Free & Total Glycerin | Back To Testing Packages
This is by far the most common test Biodiesel users and producers use.
This test checks the biodiesel to identify how much glycerin is still
left over in your biodiesel sample. Free glycerin is an indication
of how well you're biodiesel is being washed. Bound glycerin allows you to see how well the reaction
occured when the biodiesel was produced. The test reports not only total glycerin amounts but will break out
your results into triglycerides, diglycerides, monoglycerides, and free glycerin along with how it compares
to the ASTM standard. See a sample test result here

The Basic Test Package | Back To Testing Packages
This package tests for common quality indicators in Biodiesel.
It will test for Free & Total Glycerin, Flashpoint, and Acid Number.
The Free & Total Glycerin test will indicate how well the conversion went. The Flashpoint test will
give you an idea of how much methanol is left in the oil, which helps to indicate how well you're
washing is working. The Acid Number also helps to identify how well the fuel is being reacted.
It can also indicate if fuel is oxidizing and breaking down in storage. High acid numbers can have a solvency effect on rubber seals and hoses in
the fuel system.

The Deluxe Testing Package | Back To Testing Packages
This package is the same as above except we add the Sulfated Ash Test and the Karl Fisher Water Content Test.
Sulfated Ash is an indicator of how much soap or other residuals are left. High Sulfated Ash levels can
clog new Catalytic Converts on diesels designed for ULSD (Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel). The Water Content test
indicates how dry the biodiesel is. Water and diesel fuel injection systems don't do too well together so having
dry fuel is of utmost importance. NOTE: This test packages uses a different method to find water content (D 6304).
The Karl Fisher test will find TOTAL water content & not just FREE water. The ASTM only requires FREE water (D 2709), however
knowing total water content is of great benefit.

The "Big 5" Test Package | Back To Testing Packages
This test package has the 5 most commonly failed tests by Biodiesel producers. It's a common test run by commercial
biodiesel producers, biodiesel distributors, and biodiesel retailers. If Biodiesel is going to fail ASTM, these tests
typically are where it will fail. This is a great test to run if you're getting ready to do the full ASTM tests
and think you're "almost there". We highly recommend it!

The Modified ASTM D6751 Test Package | Back To Testing Packages
If you think you've got what it takes to pass the ASTM D6751 test, but aren't quite ready to spring for the whole thing, then
this is the test for you. It tests for everything the full Biodiesel ASTM D6751 Test calls for but not in exactly the same way
so it's not "certifiable" for your ASTM accredidation for selling the fuel. For example, the Cetane is reported as an index
not as the actual number and Distillation is simulated.
However, this is an excellent test to check your fuel against and comes highly recommended as a cost
effective way to see if you're ready for the full bona-fide ASTM D6751 Test Package.
ASTM Test Methods
ASTM D445 - Viscosity @ 40° C
ASTM D664 - Acid Number
ASTM D6584 - Free & Total Glycerin

The Full ASTM D6751 Test Package | Back To Testing Packages
This is the comprehensive and complete ASTM test. It complies with the ASTM D6751 specification 100%. Everything
is performed the right way and in the right manner. Pass this test and you can use the results to apply to sell
Biodiesel within the United States. Both the EPA and the National Biodiesel Board recognize
this test as "The Golden Standard" by which Biodiesel is tested against. The Cetane portion of this test takes about
5 business days to report back due to the complexity of the test.
