Bell Contracting has put in the FuelActive system in 50 of its 95 excavators to date, slicing its diesel consumption by an estimated 33,000 litres a yr.
He says the gadgets can pay for themselves after simply eight months
FuelActive is a tool that replaces the machine’s customary gas pick-up pipe to attract gas from just under the floor of the gas tank. Customary diesel engines draw gas from the underside of the gas tank the place water, sediment, diesel bug and different contaminants settle. On this approach, FuelActive delivers 92% cleaner gas to the engine, it’s claimed.
“FuelActive will give us a return on capital in lower than a yr, actually in simply eight months,” stated Peter Bell, managing director of Bell Contracting. “In all my years of investing in plant tools, I’ve by no means identified something with such a fast return.”
He added: “With the ever-increasing price of gas, it’s a must to hone in on each drop. We have been launched to FuelActive by Simon Tomblin at Rocket Leases and the method from FuelActive has been improbable. They’ve gone to website and in lower than an hour the tools has been put in, so from my perspective it’s been a very simple course of.”

He stated: “Stage V engines are improbable, they’re ultra-clean, however in the end an ultra-clean engine needs ultra-clean gas and managing ultra-clean gas on a housing website may be very tough. With FuelActive, we’ve bought confidence that the gas we use in a fantastic engine is at all times clear.”
The corporate just isn’t solely saving cash but in addition slicing its fleet carbon emissions.
“With 50 machines fitted with FuelActive, we’ll really be saving 33,000 litres of gas and slicing 86 tonnes of CO2 emissions per yr,” stated Peter Bell. “I’d advocate it to anybody. FuelActive is saving us cash, it’s making our fleet extra environment friendly and in the end, it’s saving CO2 emissions.”
