This means that improperly collected samples can lead to misleading results, missed contamination issues, or costly equipment failures. Taking a clean, representative fuel sample from the right location(s) is crucial for getting accurate test results. Here are some best practices to help ensure you're collecting samples that will give you reliable, actionable insights.
