Gasoline Analysis - Peak Petroleum Testing Services, Inc.

Peak Petroleum Testing Services Provides excellent gasoline testing & Analysis services. Our gasoline test includes IP, ASTM, EN, regulatory specifications, blended gasoline, pipeline specifications & more. Our gasoline analysis can determine if you have water, microbes, or any other potentially harmful contaminants in your gasoline tanks.

Gasoline Testing & Certification

We perform the tests required listed in the ASTM D4814 specification. This includes an octane rating. We can also perform EPA required tests to calculate VOC reduction, which is relevant in the EPA-designated ozone areas.

Gasoline is made up of a blend of volatile liquid compounds that can change over time. Oxidation, or the reaction of gas with oxygen, can lead to solid contaminants’ formation. Evaporation, over time, can leave a sticky residue known as “gum” residue inside your tank, carburetor, or other metal working parts.

If left untreated over time, these gummy residues can clog your fuel filters and fuel injectors and can cause damage to your fuel pumps and carburetors. The buildup of sediment can also be a problem.

Ethanol, a commonly known alcohol, is blended with gasoline. Gasoline-ethanol blends are more likely to absorb moisture in the air and over (add space to break up over time) time can separate into two phases, the first being atop layer/hydrocarbon phase. The water/ alcohol phase is always at the bottom. This situation is very similar to the separation of oil and water, where oil will rise to the top.

When gasoline ages over time, it becomes weathered and can accumulate sediment/dirt. These sediments may cause fuel filters to clog and may also lead to other damage. Alcohol-based fuels may also cause corrosion to the engine components.

We perform gasoline testing for pipelines, refineries, trucking companies, gas stations, airlines, insurance companies, car dealerships, and individual vehicle owners.

While we can perform a thorough slate of testing for the ASTM D4814 certification, we also work with our clients to choose the tests that will best meet their individual needs.

The following list includes the gasoline-related tests that we can perform.
