How does the Division of Oil and Public Safety collect and test gasoline and diesel fuel to determine if those products meet the states product quality specifications?
Our field inspectors routinely collect product samples from retail stations, bulk storage plants, refineries and terminals located all over the state. Product samples are also collected in response to consumer complaints and tips. The samples are then taken to the OPS petroleum laboratory for testing. Samples are tested using procedures developed by ASTM International. Several tests are performed on each product sample.
