Oilybits provide a wide range of equipment commonly utilised in the marine sector, this section serves as a basic guide to the ranges of products we offer, if you have specific requirements for equipment you are unable to locate on our website, then please do contact us for further information.

Fuel Quality Assurance

There are a number of different types of micro-organisms that can grow in certain types of fuel. The biggest problem is presented by a lamentous fungus called Hormoconis Resinae (H Res). Previously called Cladosporium Resinae, and more commonly referred to as “Diesel Bug”.

ECHA Microbiology, Microbmonitor2, Microbial Culture Test Kits, are approved for use with Aviation Fuels and Non-Aviation Fuels, and are sold in packs of 5 or 50.

This product might be chosen over Microbmonitor GMF for a vessel with helipad, so both fuels for the vessel and the helicopter could be tested with the same product.

ECHA Microbiology, Microbmonitor GMF, Microbial Culture Test Kits, are approved only for use with non aviation fuels, and are sold only in packs of 50 (10 sleeves of 5 tests)

The ECHA Microbiology, SIG Rapide WB, Microbial Presence Test Kits are for identifying Water-Borne Microbial contamination. A sample of water from the bottom of the tank is taken and the test returns a result in 1 hour after being incubated (against the skin or in an incubator) at 35C.
