*Over 40% of engine failure is due to a problem in the cooling system. This vital system is typically the most neglected, least understood component of
the modern engine. Regular coolant testing and routine maintenance can achieve maximum system efficiency and identify potential problems before they
become catastrophic failures.

Basic Level 2 Coolant Analysis (cont.)
There’s more to coolant analysis than testing coolant formulations — it’s about identifying problems within the cooling system that can be detrimental to engine
performance or lead to premature engine failure. Coolant analysis can detect:

Basic Fuel Cleanliness
Part #DFCLP
Water by Karl Fischer, %
ISO Particle Count
*This is the Cummins’ Diesel Fuel Cleanliness recommendation.
n Identifies water contamination – can lead to smoking, biological growth and corrosion
n Identifies particulate contamination – can result in extreme wear in high pressure fuel systems which
may cause premature injection failures.
Basic Fuel Analysis for Contamination
Part # DFCNP
Elemental Metals (24) by ICP
Water & Sediment
Pour Point
Thermal Stability
Bacteria, Fungi, Mold
*Comprehensive test used for pinpointing fuel contamination. Identifies contamination to be the result of a change in the fuel’s physical properties – low thermal
stability may require the use of an asphaltene conditioner.
