Spectro Scientific FDM 6001 - Portable fuel dilution meter 800-00133
The FDM 6001 is a portable, battery‑operated fuel dilution meter that directly measures percentage fuel dilution in engine oil for rapid field or laboratory testing. It uses a headspace sampling fang and a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) vapor sensor to detect diesel, gasoline or jet fuel in oil and provides results in approximately one minute. Primary use cases include on‑site determination of fuel contamination in lubrication oil to support maintenance and diagnostic decisions.
Key Features:
- Model: FDM 6001
- Manufacturer: Spectro Scientific
- Part number / SKU: 800-00133
- Measurement range: 0.2% to 15% fuel dilution
- Sample volume: 0.5 mL disposable vial (headspace sampling)
- Repeatability: ≤ 5% RSD (up to 15% fuel content)
- Stored calibration profiles: up to three; data export via USB
Advantages:
- Fast results — provides a fuel dilution reading in about one minute for rapid decision making
- Portable and battery powered for on‑site testing where lab access is limited
- Low sample volume and disposable vials eliminate carryover and simplify sampling
- High repeatability (≤5% RSD) and multiple stored calibration profiles support consistent, repeatable measurements

Spectro Scientific, an ISO 9001:2015 company, specializes in analytical tools and software for machine condition monitoring. The company is one of the largest suppliers of oil, fuel and fluid analysis instruments to industry and the military worldwide. Industry clients include petrochemical, mining, marine and power generation companies as well as commercial testing laboratories. Spectro Scientific’s extensive product offerings include spectrometers for wear metal analysis, lubricant degradation and contamination analyzers, particle analysis instruments and complete turnkey systems for oil or fuel analysis laboratories, all managed by its SpectroTrack software platform.
Spectro Scientific develops a broad array of fluid analysis instruments for evaluating machine and lubricant condition in the field, in the lab and in highly mobile, handheld applications. The instruments provide critical data about an engine’s condition and can provide an early warning of engine failure. Capturing, analyzing and trending this data on Spectro Scientific products enable you to:
- Schedule maintenance before a failure occurs
- Avoid the expense of maintenance you don’t need
- Avoid the disruption of taking an engine out of service unnecessarily
The result is higher equipment availability, greater productivity, lower maintenance costs, lower total cost of ownership, fewer outages, optimal equipment performance, and greener operation – all empowered by accurate fluid analysis.
