FuelActive in Transportation

Approximately 80 per cent of vehicle downtime or premature maintenance is caused by poor fuel quality and fuel contamination.

This global problem is affecting companies across the transportation industry. Often remaining undetected, poor fuel quality, leading to fuel contamination drives up operating costs by increasing repair and maintenance, reducing uptime and eroding capital efficiency.

The patented FuelActive fuel pickup unit is a unique, innovative solution to the problem of fuel contamination in diesel engines. Unlike a standard fuel pickup pipe, the revolutionary FuelActive unit uses a floating pickup pipe that draws clean fuel from the top of the fuel level, thus avoiding the harmful contaminants that settle at the bottom of the tank.

There is only one in-tank, fit-and-forget product – FuelActive.

Reduce Cost of Ownership

Burning cleaner fuel reduces the cost of diesel engine maintenance while ending on-site fuel-related breakdowns and improving the overall driving performance of your vehicle.

Reduce Maintenance

Burning cleaner fuel avoids blocked fuel filters and damaged fuel pumps, which keeps costs down and your engine running.

Reduce Component Replacements

Burning cleaner fuel increases the life expectancy of fuel injectors, fuel pumps and fuel filters when carrying large loads, in tough conditions.

Reduce harmful emissions

FuelActive is proven to reduce CO2 emissions by 5%. Burning cleaner fuel maintains factory-level emissions standards throughout the lifecycle of your engine.

Reduce Fuel Consumption

FuelActive is proven to reduce fuel consumption by 5%. Burning cleaner fuel increases the thermal efficiency of your engine, thus reducing fuel consumption.

End Fuel-related Breakdowns

Burning cleaner fuel preserves the engine’s fuel-injectors and prolongs the life expectancy of the diesel engines of your tractor unit.

Product Features

Easy to fit

Installation is relatively non-intrusive and can normally take place while the tank remains on the machine. All that is required is a simple replacement of the current fuel pick-up pipe. Fitting can be completed within 60 minutes in most instances.

Patented design

FuelActive’s float design with built-in diffuser reduces localised pressure minimising the disturbance of contamination within the tank. The conventional fuel pick-up design creates a high-velocity disturbance in and around where contaminants settle (see red area).

Independently tested

Independent laboratory testing by Sogefi Filtration Ltd showed that the water/diesel separation efficiency of the FuelActive system exceeded 94 percent, compared with 2.3 percent for the conventional system. The FuelActive fuel pick-up unit delivered fuel that was 92 percent cleaner than the conventional fuel pick-up system.

Zero Maintenance

The FuelActive unit is unique in targeting the crippling effects of fuel contamination. It requires no maintenance after installation.
It’s truly fit & forget technology.

Versatile Solution

FuelActive is designed to fit across a number of different vehicle and trailer types. Our low profile solution is designed to fit under catwalks whilst bespoke adaptors are designed to fit cylindrical fuel tanks.

Robust

FuelActive® is proven to work from Himalayas, Andes to sub Saharan Africa in extreme temperatures and regions.

FuelActive® units can deliver over 4000 litres of diesel per hour and also operate efficiently within highly agitated road conditions.

Not confined to diesel

Not confined to diesel. The physics that underpins FuelActive® functions remains true for other fuels such as petrol, kerosene, adBlue etc.

FuelActive units are often made bespoke. Bottom feed units, units capable of delivering >4,000 litres of fuel per hour and units that are fitted to unconventionally-shaped fuel tanks make up a versatile range of products.
