When testing jet fuel with the Shell Water Detector, watch to see if it changes color from yellow to blue; this means that there is water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy do I need a fuel water detector?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing a fuel water detector will help you find out if water has got into your fuel and allow you to deal with it before it becomes a problem for your aircraft.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFree water in aviation fuel can lead to ice formation, filter blockages, and consequent engine failure. It can also allow microbial growth in fuel tanks, which can cause fuel spoiling and filter blocking. Acids generated by the microbes can even cause corrosion damage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLow concentrations of water suspended in fuel cannot be detected by visual inspections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Shell Water Detector?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeveloped by Shell to address aircraft operational issues associated with ice formation in aircraft fuel tanks, Shell Water Detector is an easy-to-use, reliable and simple industry-standard test method that verifies that jet fuel meets the demanding aviation standards for water content.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt detects the presence in jet fuels of finely dispersed water that is undetectable by the eye and gives assurance to the user that the industry limits for water-free jet fuel are maintained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eWhen to use fuel water detectors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater can get into your jet fuel at every stage of the supply chain. The Joint Inspection Group (JIG), which sets the standards for aviation fuel supply, requires you to test your jet fuel at every stage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUse fuel water detectors daily to test the fuel stored in in-service tanks, hydrant filter drains, loading filter drains, fueller filter drains, hydrant dispensers, fueller tanks, and trailer tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew, easy-to-use tubes, enhanced quality assurance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA few years ago, an international flight touched down short of the runway because of “accreted ice from within the fuel system”. With lives at stake, no reputable operator would risk compromising on the quality of its water testing kits.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe SHELL WATER DETECTOR is manufactured following strict quality assurance standards in a purpose-built, humidity-controlled facility. The manufacturer has ISO 9001:2008 accreditation for quality management, which covers manufacture, assembly, packaging, and supply. The Shell Water Detector is proven and now comes in easier-to-use packaging, which is designed to enhance product quality assurance even further.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew look boxes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach new-look box contains the same number of capsules (80), but there are now 8 tubes with 10 capsules per tube: previously, 8 capsules in 10 tubes. This change is permitted by the replacement of a desiccant sachet with a coating and reduces packaging waste.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrusted worldwide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor over 50 years, operators across the world have relied on the Shell Water Detector to check their aviation fuel for suspended water that cannot be detected by visual inspections. The detector capsules are widely used, thanks to their effectiveness and simplicity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImitations are available, but, for quality you can trust, we recommend using the original, internationally recognized, an industry-standard that is the Shell Water Detector.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew, easier to use packaging\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScrew-top tubes can be difficult to use, especially when wearing gloves. We understand the importance of sampling efficiently while wearing the correct personal protective equipment, which is why our new Shell Water Detector tubes have flip caps. These are easy to open and seal with one hand while wearing gloves. We also recommend using reverse-action syringes, which draw samples in when the plunger is pushed – an action that can be performed easily using one hand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnhanced product quality assurance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou need to be confident that each capsule is ready to use.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Shell Water Detector kits continue to be manufactured to high-quality standards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe new desiccant-coated tubes are medical-grade quality, which helps to ensure that the capsules remain protected during the rigors of use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe new tubes help to ensure that the remaining capsules are protected from moisture, through:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esimple flip tops, which are easier to seal from the air\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ean all-over desiccant coating, which has replaced the desiccant sachet placed at one end of the tube.
