In order to ensure safety in handling, the test method
requires that volatile fuels be transferred from the sample
container to the funnel without pouring. Fuels having a verified
flash point greater than 38°C (refer to Test Method D 56 or Test
Methods D 93 or D 3828) may be transferred by pouring the
sample from the sample container directly into the funnel.
Bonding the sample container to the funnel is required.
