Can anyone out there suggest a good testing laboratory that can provide analytical values such as heat content, flash point, sulfer content, viscocity, ash content, ect. for fuel oils?

Online analysis is an alternative.
Marinteck make a fuel ignition analyser (http://www.marintek.sintef.no/fueltech/menufrm.htm)
And Solartons ViscoMaster viscometer (for fuel oil heater control) measures the density, base density, dynamic viscosity, kinematic viscosity and Ignition index eliminating many of the offline measurements (visit http://www.solartronmobrey.com)
I would be interested to hear which of the other measurements can be performed online. (one inline measurement that is more difficult is to measure the base viscosity of the oil, but it is not impossible,just that it can be very expensive if conducted in the fuel lines. It is less expensive to check the 50deC viscosity in the bunkering lines. Again, see the Solartron Website.
