Fuel that is introduced into the engine oil has a major influence on the lubricating properties of the engine oil and consequently on the friction and wear of components in the combustion engine. Increased proportions of fuel in the engine oil lead to a reduction in oil viscosity, which can result in reduced friction but also increased wear.
A device for real-time measurements is indispensable for obtaining time-resolved oil dilution values, especially for engine operation in transitional areas. The V&F FuelSense has been specially developed for this task. In combination with the V&F LubeSampler, oil dilution can now be determined online.
