FUEL MANAGEMENT
FUEL SHIELD - Features

The FUEL SHIELD System consists of three components:

The Vehicle Identification Unit is a device that is installed on each authorized vehicle and has a pre-programmed chip with a unique ID number, eliminating the need for a costly programming unit.

The Hose Control Unit is a compact device built to withstand any environmental condition common to petroleum handling equipment. It is designed for direct attachment to the hose nozzle in a manner that will not interfere with refueling. The Hose Control Unit is installed on each individual pump and detects insertion of the fuel nozzle into the fuel inlet of a vehicle equipped with a Vehicle Identification Unit. The removal of the nozzle from the vehicle’s fuel inlet immediately terminates fuel flow.

The Pump Control Unit controls each pump hose independently. Whenever the fuel hose is inserted into the correct vehicle, the Hose Control Unit transmits the Vehicle ID via wireless communication from the Vehicle Identification Unit to the Pump Control Unit in order to obtain authorization before allowing fuel to be dispensed.

The FUEL SHIELD system can be configured to authorize refueling automatically through use of a vehicle identification antenna, or though utilizing a:

• Numeric keypad
• Magnetic strip card
• Smart chip key

The FUEL SHIELD system logs the following data for each refueling process:

• Date and time.
• Operator and vehicle identification number.
• Vehicle VIN number and description.
• Cost center.
• Vehicle odometer.
• Fuel type, pump number and description fuel pump counter (0.1 gallons increments).
• Dollar value of each transaction and much more...
