Fuel Quality Intelligence

For more than 30 years, it has been the go-to reference for fuel performance and compliance data used by global leaders in the energy, automotive, and chemical industries.

At its core, the Survey delivers detailed laboratory analyses of physical and chemical characteristics for a wide range of fuels, including:

  • Diesel
  • Gasoline
  • Jet fuel
  • Biofuels and synthetic fuels
  • Gaseous fuels (CNG, LPG, Hydrogen)
  • Heating oil and paraffinic fuels
  • Fuel additives and operating fluids
