In the wake of several high-profile incidents where business aircraft had their fuel systems contaminated with diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), aviation fuel handling and testing equipment provider Gammon Technical Products (GTP) is now distributing a field test kit for the detection of DEF in fuel system icing inhibitor (FSII). Developed by fuel testing equipment manufacturer Emcee Electronics, the new DEFKIT can detect DEF contamination concentrations in FSII as low as 2 percent.
