Saybolt fuel analysis – Diesel Oil 10 ppm

In October 2018, the independent and accredited laboratory Saybolt in Singapore analyzed a sample of road Diesel Oil treated with XBEE Enzyme Fuel Technology.

The analysis demonstrated that such fuel, also known as Gasoil, remains in compliance with the 10 PPM standard.

Saybolt performed tests after blending XBEE at a ratio of 1:4,000. The sample tested using XBEE Enzyme Fuel Technology meets all specifications of the 10 ppm standard.
