Diesel is the most common used fuel across the world and most notably in South Africa. Used on mines, construction sites, farms, manufacturing plants as the lifeblood to fuel the necessary machinery to keep daily operations of these industries running.
The price of a barrel of oil will continue to increase and with it the need to transfer and pump diesel effectively to more accurately control, monitor and condition the fuel so to ensure optimal and fast refueling, while keeping spillage and wastage to an absolute minimum.
As global market conditions would have it, privateers have emerged in opportunities to undercut market leaders which have regulated fuels for far too long.
As supply becomes more available, so does the need to transfer and store this raging commodity; welcome to the world of diesel handling and storage.
Transferring and dispensing diesel by the means of pumps from fuel tanks and drums has never been so prolific. The different types and power sources of diesel pumps are vast, from 12V battery powered diesel pumps to pneumatic, electric and manually operated diesel pumps are available of all grades and qualities.
Italian manufacturer Piusi has an offering to satisfy each requirement and type of diesel pump. Well known for their quality and reliability, their 12V Battery Diesel pumps and motorised Drum Pumps are hugely popular for refuelling machinery on-site and mines.
Their manually operated diesel drum pumps are sought after in South Africa for home and business use to refuel generators and small fleets.
As with any competitive resource supply, quality differentiates and conditioning the fuel is vital for the reliability and longevity of the machinery. Not only do diesel filters eliminate any possible contaminants during transfer, but are the most cost effective within the process and should never be ignored.
Diesel bowsers and mobile storage tanks that are often made from Flowbins and IBC’s are mounted onto passenger vehicle trailers for ease of transport and logistics to reach remote destinations on farms and mines. Coupled with a diesel pump, flow meter and filter provides a complete mobile refueling station for any need.
