Regular diesel fuel quality testing is essential, no matter why or how you use diesel fuel. If you store diesel fuel for regular or emergency use, it's vital to understand how fuel quality impacts performance and equipment function. Poor quality can lead to inadequate performance and can damage equipment. In extreme cases, poor quality
Storing diesel fuel is vital for a wide range of industries — your stored fuel allows you to use generators for energy and industrial vehicles during emergencies. Fuel quality directly relates to performance — higher quality fuel works better, igniting quicker. It also protects equipment, which can sustain damage when exposed to poor-quality fuel. Understanding
If your business or facility relies on a large commercial generator or standby generator, you probably have a good amount of diesel fuel on hand in preparation for the winter. You want to know that you will have heat and light when you need them most, should your main power supply fail. But if

You may already have a
Did you know that the United States annually spends $80 billion due to power outages and disturbances? When an outage occurs, maintaining uptime is critical. Additionally, when it comes to the performance and reliability of your generators during an outage, the state of your fuel is of utmost importance, which is why Foster Fuel’s
In order to mitigate liability and improve care during power outages, The Joint Commission has launched a new Emergency Preparedness (EP) standard for fuel quality. This new standard states, “At least annually, the hospital tests the fuel quality to ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standard” (Joint Commission, 2017). Essentially, the new EP
