Zusammenfassung:A test device for assessing low temperature performance of a wax-containing fuel comprises a vessel 4 for containing a fuel to be assessed, means for cooling, and means 16 for heating, the fuel in the vessel, a filter element 13 and means to cause the fuel to pass through the filter 20 of the filter element 13, the cooling and heating means 16 being so arranged that a stable convection current a is set up in the fuel and the filter 16 is so positioned that it receives wax settling from the fuel.
