Are you looking for a MTBE testing service? Methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) is a fuel additive made, in part, from natural gas. Since 1979, MTBE has been used to enhance the octane rating of mid to high-grade gasoline and has been used to oxygenate fuel since the mid 1980's. A growing number of studies have detected MTBE in ground water throughout the country; in some instances these contaminated waters are sources of drinking water. Low levels of MTBE can make drinking water supplies undrinkable due to its offensive taste and odor.
