Abstract Several types of currently used foams were tested for effectiveness on various fuels, including aviation kerosene, heptane, hexane, pentane, benzene, toluene, and motor gasoline. The purpose of the tests was to find some standard against which to measure fire fighting capabilities of foams. Difficulties in testing and test results are discussed. It was found that several popular foams fail more frequently than expected.
