Abstract
A test system for equipment using fuel, including a closed supply circuit of the equipment configured to supply contaminated fuel to the equipment is provided. The circuit includes at least one tank including fuel, and a pollution module including on or more vats including fuel contaminated by solid contaminants. The module is configured to introduce contaminated fuel to a section of the supply circuit in which the fuel extracted from the tank circulates towards the equipment. The module also includes an agitating tool configured to take contaminated fuel from the vat and return it to the vat, so as to agitate the contaminated fuel in the vat.
