Fuel Dilution %
Definition:
Fuel Dilution % is the amount of raw, unburned fuel that ends up in the crankcase. It lowers an oil's viscosity and flash point - creating friction-related wear almost immediately by reducing film strength.
Standard Test Method Used:
Fuel Dilution by Gas Chromatography - ASTM Method Pending
Reporting Measurement:
% by Volume
Amount of Sample Needed:
40 mL
Gas Chromatography is a method for separating the components of a mixture and measuring the amounts of each. Components are separated from one another by vaporizing the sample into a carrier gas stream that is passed through a column containing a substance that selectively adsorbs then releases the components to be measured.
