The OTC Diesel Fuel Hydrometer, No. 6750,
is designed to test #1 and #2 grade diesel fuel composition
and combustion characteristics, helping diagnose fuel and drivability issues. The hydrometer
measurements are given as an American Petroleum Institute (API) gravity reading when testing
diesel fuel composition and combustion characteristics. Fuel is drawn into the hydrometer tube
which then floats the internal bulb float. The internal float contains a thermometer that is used
to compensate the API reading for the highest accuracy. Instructions are included, with proper
measurements noted within. For use on all GM 5/16 " EVAP line systems.
