Know What’s in Your Tanks —
Before It Costs You
Clean fuel is critical to your backup systems. Our certified testing programs catch problems early and give you the data to act fast.
Go deeper: Learn how storage conditions affect fuel quality in our diesel fuel storage guide, or use the fuel consumption calculator to see how fast your generators burn through stored fuel.
Targeted Analysis. Proven Standards.
We test for the most common fuel problems:
Water & Sediment
Removes moisture and debris that trigger corrosion.
Microbial Growth
Tests for bacteria and fungus that destroy fuel.
Fuel Breakdown & Stability
Detects early signs of degradation.
Density, Clarity & Appearance
Checks fuel quality at a glance.
Biodiesel & Blend Compatibility
Ensures compatibility with blends.
Diesel, Avgas & Gasoline Quality
Confirms fuel meets usage standards.
All tests follow national standards and are confirmed by independent labs.
How It Works
We make fuel testing simple and inspection-ready — from sample to certified report.
Step 1: Fuel Sampling
We collect samples from the lowest point in your tank, using barcode-labeled containers to track them.
Step 2: On-Site Checks
Our team runs quick visual and particle tests using handheld equipment.
Step 3: Lab Testing
We send samples to certified labs for detailed analysis.
Step 4: Results & Reports
You get photo-documented results and clear action steps—usually within 48 business hours
What You Get

All reports are designed to meet compliance needs for regulators, insurers, and internal audits.
Fuel Testing Standards
We test fuel against trusted national standards. These include:
Not sure you have enough fuel for a 96-hour outage?
The CMS 96-hour emergency preparedness rule requires healthcare facilities to store enough diesel to run generators for 96 continuous hours — but the actual fuel requirement is more complex than most facilities realize.
Use the free 96-Hour Fuel Rule Calculator on BackupPower.ai to get a pass/fail compliance answer in under 2 minutes.
It accounts for NFPA 110’s 133% safety buffer, altitude derating, generator age, and usable tank capacity.
For a detailed breakdown of how generator load, tank size, and fuel age affect your actual runtime, see our Hospital Backup Generator Fuel Duration Guide.
