Abstract

An apparatus for testing lubricity of a fuel includes a testing chamber for holding a sample of the fuel to be tested; an inlet for admitting the sample to the testing chamber; and an assembly for sealing the testing chamber to prevent moisture transfer during admission and testing of the fuel. In this way, more consistent results are obtained.
