THE LARGEST road transfer pulverisation station in the country, based at Knowsley, Lancashire, has installed Fuelsafe Sentinel fuelling equipment to speed up the refuelling of its 30.5 tonne 130-ton) eight-wheelers which handle up to 610 tonnes of refuse a day.
Fuelling was supervised by clerks whose main duties lay elsewhere and the procedure inevitably caused delays. Now the drivers, armed with a plastic key, can fuel their vehicles as and when the need arises.
The Fuelsafe system provides a print-out remote from the pump, giving details of the day, date, time, driver code and fleet number. When the driver punches in his mileage reading it will also provide a record of the vehicle's individual total consumption and average fuel consumption.
