Fuel management for farm tanks

The tank

Few farm tanks have a meter. The fuel goes out on trust.

An overhead farm tank on a stand has no pump and no meter, so fuel goes out on trust and gets worked out later from the delivery dockets. That's a hard way to do the books. A gravity tank can be converted: a 12V pump, a K-24 meter and a Fuellox Portable turn it into a metered one, and with a marine cycle battery and a solar panel it runs with no mains power out to the tank. A ground level tank that already has a pump just takes the meter and the unit.

  • Suits overhead, gravity fed and skid farm tanks
  • 12V and solar, no mains run needed
  • Litres by machine, not by docket

Mixed tanks, mixed hardware

Tanks spread across the farm. One record for every tank.

An overhead tank on a stand and a ground level tank on a skid or slab are set up differently. Whoever fuels, and wherever the tank sits on the property, the litres land in one record.

  • The unit

    Portable, on or off the stand

    Portable is built for small pumps and remote tanks, so it's what we list on both farm tank types. How the tank is set up decides the unit.

  • The system

    Scan, then fuel, anywhere on the farm

    Whoever fuels scans the machine's QR code in the app before the pump runs, at the house tank or the far paddock. Every fill lands in the one account for the property.

  • The meter

    A K-24 on the delivery hose

    A Piusi K-24 sits in line on the hose. If a tank runs a bigger line, it steps up to a 25mm Flomec.

  • The plan

    Sized to the number of tanks

    The plan we list suits one or two tanks and a small team. Fleet adds tank levels and alerts. Which one comes down to how many tanks you run and who wants to see the figures.
