FuelQuip Fuel Management System Installed at Xelabus
FuelQuip Ltd are one of the UK’s leading specialists in supplying fuel pumps, tanks & fuel management systems to significantly improve fleet operators fuelling operations.
The expansion of independent bus operator Xelabus Limited in Eastleigh, Hampshire, founded by Operations Director Gareth Blair, has seen an increase in fleet size over the years and a fuel consumption of over 5,000 litres a week.
Xelabus approached FuelQuip Ltd as the need to re-evaluate and streamline the refuelling process had become critical; the current set up saw the entire fleet operating under fuel cards and causing major congestion at local garages. The ineffective & inefficient procedure was costing the firm thousands in excessive fuel expenditures and wasting valuable man hours. The potential savings to be made from having a convenient on-site fuelling system was therefore undeniable and finding a solution an immediate priority for Xelabus.
FuelQuip assisted Xelabus with the overhaul of their refuelling process by installing a 30,000 litre custom designed fuel storage tank which matched the green livery of the fleet. This came complete with the FuelQuip Integral; a combined heavy duty fuel pump and a real time internet based fuel management system. Coupled with Live Tank Gauging, the highly recommended FuelQuip Integral Fuel Management system met all requirements, future proofed the site for further expansion and came with a genuine 24/7 software support helpline.
With the FuelQuip software, every transaction is recorded automatically enabling immediate and accurate visibility of stock figures to provide complete control of Xelabus’ entire fleet fuel usage. Streamlined reports can accurately log fuel usage down to the individual driver or vehicle and the ease in which instant in-depth reports are produced has saved hours of administration costs with the on-the-go remote paperless office.
Now, all 26 buses are able to fuel up on site effortlessly, with a fast and efficient process saving unnecessary stress, time and labour.
Gareth from Xelabus commented, “We are extremely pleased with the tank, software and the aftersales care received from FuelQuip. It has made a remarkable difference to our operation and as a business we have already benefitted significantly from it.”
