The 2014 edition of NFPA 25 introduces fuel testing requirements in section 8.3.4 with the rather vague description of "testing for degradation" per ASTM D975‐11b. I read a LinkedIn blog referring to this and how different testing companies have different ideas about what should be tested for in this case. As well, I contacted a testing firm and they advised that they can test for no less than 13 different parameters. I would presume that the more testing that has to be done, the more costly the endeavor.
Is anyone here aware of what tests satisfy 8.3.4.1.1? And maybe a lead on a reputable testing firm who has experience with diesel fire pump engines (assuming that passing along such information doesn't break any forum rules)?
