Fuel System Testing

Intertek Automotive Research has extensive experience developing and conducting fuel system testing for the automotive manufacturers and their suppliers. Automotive Research has several temperature controlled environmental chambers that can be used in conjunction with fuel system testing. This allows the fuel systems or components to be exposed to extreme temperatures prior to or during the testing.

Moreover, Automotive Research employs a fuel filling station capable of utilizing over 20 different fuel fill nozzles to dispense various (specified) fuels at various (specified) temperatures and flow rates.
