The Macherey-Nagel (Germany) oil test paper is the optimal tool for easy and quick detection of diesel oil in AdBlue tanks.
Regarding the future emission standard Euro-5, many trucks are already provided with a second tank for AdBlue. The urea dilution is necessary for the catalyst to reduce emissions. A wrong fuelling of the AdBlue tank with diesel oil may cause expensive damages. This often leads to false warranty claims, because wrong fuelling is difficult to detect.
With oil test paper the detection of diesel oil in AdBlue tanks
is quick and easy. The test paper is moved back and forth in the tank 3-5 times. A dark coloration of the test paper indicates the presence of diesel oil.
Oil test paper guarantees easy and quick applications with reliable results. It perfectly meets the needs of workshops and truck drivers.
