Integrated Engineering and Service Test of Effluent Fuel Tester

Abstract

Tests were conducted to determine the technical performance and safety characteristics of the test item and to determine the suitability of the fuel tester and its maintenance package for use by the Army. It was concluded that: the test item meets the requirements with the exception of the deficiencies and shortcomings; technical performance was satisfactory and sufficiently accurate to register the presence of all contaminants to which it was exposed with the exception of the siliceous test dust; the test item is adequately reliable; safety provisions and capability to perform safely are confirmed and human factors considerations are satisfactory with minor exceptions. It is recommended that the Effluent Fuel Tester be considered not suitable for use by the Army under limited intermediate climatic conditions until the two deficiencies and as many as practicable of the shortcomings have been corrected.
