Research Laboratories was opened for business on June 22, 1984 on the northwest side of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Research Laboratories is a full service petroleum fuel analysis facility specializing in the testing of distillate fuels. All grades of distillate fuel including 2 diesel, heating oil, aviation, marine fuels, and gasoline are routinely tested. 'State-of-the-art' testing equipment following ASTM specifications when applicable are used by our highly trained and educated staff to obtain accurate results. When necessary contracted outside laboratories are utilized to further expand and verify our testing capabilities. Research Laboratories works with diesel fuel additive suppliers in the verification testing of their performance enhancing products. Testing is done on various diesel fuels without additive products to provide a base line to judge any improvements. Testing is then done to additive suppliers' specifications with various rates of additives to the base fuels so performance improvements can be verified and reported. Winterization testing of products for diesel fuels are verified in our exclusive cold room chamber to evaluate real world performance under extreme operating conditions. Uniquely designed equipment using actual fuel filtering methods and tests have been developed to simulate real world fuel flow and filter plugging to temperatures as low as -30 degrees Fahrenheit.
