PMX145 – Independently Tested & Verified Diesel & ULP Fuel Treatment
PMX145 has been independently verified to meet and exceed international ASTM D975 (diesel) and ASTM D4814 (ULP/unleaded petrol) standards. This ensures no reduction in fuel stability across both fuel types, with verified compliance with Australian and global fuel quality benchmarks.

All ULP tests conducted by an independent accredited laboratory on PMX145-treated unleaded petrol. No reduction in fuel specification was recorded across any parameter.
Summary of Findings
- ✅ No contamination or microbial activity detected (<10 CFU/mL).
- ✅ No reduction in lubricity (HFRR 0.406 mm) — diesel.
- ✅ Ultra-low sulfur diesel maintained (0.0007%).
- ✅ Meets all ASTM D975 and related diesel fuel standards.
- ✅ Now also independently verified for ULP (unleaded petrol) under ASTM D4814.
- ✅ No reduction in octane rating (RON / MON) confirmed — ULP.
- ✅ Meets all ASTM D4814 ULP fuel standards.
- ✅ Verified by an independent accredited fuel analysis laboratory.

Frequently Asked Questions
Has PMX145 been independently tested?
Yes. PMX145 has been independently tested by an accredited fuel analysis laboratory and verified under ASTM D975 (diesel) and ASTM D4814 (ULP/unleaded petrol) and related fuel standards. These tests confirm PMX145-treated fuel is clean, stable, and meets all international quality requirements for both diesel and petrol applications.
What does ASTM verification mean?
ASTM verification confirms that fuel treated with PMX145 meets strict international standards for lubricity, cleanliness, and overall fuel performance — across both diesel (ASTM D975) and unleaded petrol (ASTM D4814). These certifications scientifically validate the effectiveness of PMX145, demonstrating that it reliably protects engines and maintains operational performance according to internationally recognised testing protocols.
