Fuel Management for Green Fuels

Real Time, Web Based Fuel Management for Alternatively Fuelled Vehicles

Fuel Management for Green Fuels – System Features

  • The real-time site view shows activity on the fuelling site as it occurs. Any problems with dispensers are immediately obvious.

  • The system will generate monthly reports and distribute them automatically, leaving the user free to concentrate on managing issues raised rather than moving paper.

  • Using the group’s feature, it is simple to set up customer transaction reports to generate invoicing information.

  • Multiple sites can be managed easily so that vehicles can fuel anywhere in the network and still have a single consolidated billing report.

  • Optional separate web service allows customers to view just their Fuelling transactions online in real-time and produce their reports.

  • System manages Dual Fuel vehicles to report meaningful MPG figures.

CNG, LNG and Hydrogen – Fuel Management for Green Fuels

The CNG / LNG Market has been active in the UK for many years. However, it has only recently become a viable option for long-range haulage, with the first independent gas filling stations opening across the UK. As far as the driver is concerned, the vehicle and the fuelling experience are as straightforward as using diesel.

Dispensing Gaseous products is not straightforward as pressure and temperature must be considered to give a true measure of delivered fuel. Delivering fuel at hugely sub-zero temperatures is even more complicated to measure. Jigsaw works with various specialist companies supplying gas compression equipment and dispensers. The Jigsaw system is MID-approved for resale, giving your users confidence that the fuelling process is accurate and dependable.

An Eclipse fuel island controller controls the CNG, LNG or Hydrogen dispensers so that fuel may only be drawn on presentation of a valid vehicle ID tag and Driver ID.

LPG

An LPG dispenser is a little more straightforward than a CNG Dispenser, and a range of LPG dispensers are available for interface with the Jigsaw Eclipse system.

Bio Diesel

Bio Diesel may be dispensed by the same equipment to deliver ordinary fossil fuel-based diesel.

Fuel Island Hardware – Green Fuels Fuel Management

For each of the above fuel types, a Jigsaw Eclipse Terminal with an RFID tag reader would be fitted adjacent to the pump. The terminal only allows fuel to be drawn by users with a valid ID Tag. In addition, the pump interface would be chosen to suit the pump type being controlled – either a mechanical, pulsed interface or a serial protocol controller.

On the Fuel Server

The fleet to be fuelled is fed into and managed on the website, setting the acceptable fuel types and the full delivery. The vehicle can be assigned to a user group, such as an individual company, so billing information may be easily generated. If required, the fuelling transactions may be forwarded to a secondary package such as Sage or SAP.

Details of each fuelling transaction – date and time, vehicle, driver and fuel quantity- are viewable through the website and may be included in user reports.

Any reports which need to be generated daily, weekly or monthly can be configured as required and automatically generated and distributed.

Options to consider

  • If drivers can’t be relied on to type in accurate mileages, then hardware may be fitted to the vehicles, automatically gathering and passing the mileage from the vehicle to the fuel island. Jigsaw Midas, FuelGuard and EasyFuel all have this option. Alternatively, some pass the vehicle’s mileage back to the telematics server if the vehicle is fitted with a tracking system. Jigsaw has interfaces to several telematics servers to recover this mileage automatically.

  • Identifying the driver who fuelled the vehicle will enable the system to give you the tools to manage driver efficiency and identify any necessary retraining. This can be achieved by issuing the drivers with personal ID tags.

  • A “Yard Key” is often issued, used to fuel visiting vehicles, contract hires vehicles and just about anything else – legitimate or otherwise. Plan for these eventualities by holding spare keys on site that can be issued and recovered as necessary. Alternatively, the yard key can be replaced by a fueller tag or master tag where a valid registration number needs to be entered.

  • Commonly, a site is supplied from a trailer loaded with high-pressure gas canisters. These are filled at another site where the gas is compressed. Make allowance for controlling and monitoring the gas filling point for these mobile stations.
