Test
Method
A sample of soil is extracted with isopropyl alcohol, and the extract
is filtered. The ultraviolet absorbance of the extract is measured at
254 nm. If the contaminant fuel is available for calibration, the
approximate concentration of contamination is calculated. If the
contaminant fuel type is known, but the contaminant fuel is not
available for calibration, an estimate of the contaminant concentration
is determined using average response factors. If the nature of the
contaminant fuel is not known, the absorbance value is used to indicate
the presence or absence of fuel contamination. Calcium oxide is added
to the soil as a conditioning agent to minimize interferences from
humid materials and moisture present in the soil. Particulate
interferences are removed by passing the extract through a filter.
Features and Benefits
• Utilizes ultraviolet photometer for detection of heavier
fuels
• Works with wet or dry soils
• Provides accurate test results regardless of operating
temperature
• Self-contained portable kit

Diesel Dog Test Kit
The Diesel Dog Soil Test Kit
combines advanced technology with a new method to detect and measure
fuel contamination in soils, bringing you an easy, safe and economical
way to analyze samples in the field. The simple
testing procedure utilizes isopropyl alcohol rather than
ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons for soil extraction. The extract is
then placed in the photometer and measures the concentration of the
fuel at 254nm. The Diesel Dog Soil Test Kit is specially designed to
test for heavier fuels. It uses a new method approved by ASTM making it
useful for federal compliance activities. The Diesel Dog Soil Test Kit
can be used by anyone who needs to map ground contamination or guide
cleanup activities, such as environmental contractors, consultants, and
laboratories conducting field analyses. Other users are gas and
electric utilities, emergency response teams, and environmental
agencies. The kit is designed and constructed for use in tank farms,
refineries, oil production fields, railroad yards, manufactured gas
sites, automotive salvage yards, and underground storage and heating
oil tank sites.
