Specificity Results (in addition to above):
Activated:  n-hexane, diesel, jet-A jet fuel, toluene, xylene(s).

Manufacturer's specifications:
Type 1 sensor is recommended by manufacturer for detecting liquid and vapor gasoline, alcohol-blend fuels, and JP-4 jet fuel in wet or dry monitor wells.
Type 2 sensor is recommended by manufacturer for detecting fuel oils #1 and #2, A2M, JP-4 jet fuel, JP-5 jet fuel, unleaded gasoline, and alcohol blend fuels in wet monitoring wells only.

Comments:

The detector is not reusable and must be replaced after contact with hydrocarbons. California regulations require sensors to be tested annually to verify proper operation. This sensor is a self-destruct type and therefore cannot be used in California.
