Device from Israel's Verifuel to Doublecheck water-in-fuel contamination

摘要

An Israeli company has developed a water-in-fuel sensing device for the general aviation market. Called Doublecheck, the system is to be marketed by its developer Verifuel as an add-on to testing ampoules available from US suppliers such as Aviation Supplies & Academics and Jeppesen. The Doublecheck device is attached to an ampoule filled with a small sample of fuel. A small array of infrared emitters and sensors is the heart of the device. If the water in the fuel is within the accepted range, the pilot will get no response.
