What is Fuel Management?
Fuel management involves overseeing and controlling the consumption of fuel within a fleet of vehicles, ensuring efficient operation and minimising waste. It allows fleet managers to monitor fuel usage in real-time, identify discrepancies and implement strategies to optimise efficiency. For businesses in the transportation, construction, rail, marine and aviation industries, effective fuel management is crucial to reducing operational costs and improving productivity.
With Jigsaw’s advanced fuel management systems and software, businesses can gain comprehensive insights into their fuel usage, monitor consumption patterns and detect potential inefficiencies or anomalies. By doing so, companies can enhance their day-to-day operations, save costs and make data-driven decisions to boost overall fleet performance.
What is a Fuel Management System?
A fuel management system is an integrated solution designed to track, monitor and manage fuel consumption. These systems provide detailed data on fuel dispensed at each refuelling event, enabling fleet managers to gain a complete view of fuel usage across their operations. The data can be accessed online, making it easy for managers to review, analyse and take action to improve efficiency and reduce fuel costs.
Jigsaw’s fuel management systems are trusted by various industries, including transport, logistics and public services, where fuel can represent a significant portion of overhead expenses. With our solutions, businesses can ensure that their fuel costs are optimised and their profit margins are protected.
The Role of Bunded Tanks in Fuel Management
What is a Bunded Tank?
A bunded tank is a fuel storage solution designed with an additional layer of protection. Essentially, it is a tank within a tank, where the outer layer can hold 110% of the inner tank’s capacity. This double-walled design ensures that any potential leakage from the inner tank is contained, preventing environmental contamination and safeguarding against costly fuel losses.
For fleet managers, bunded tanks provide peace of mind by offering a secure and compliant way to store fuel, meeting regulatory requirements and protecting both assets and the environment.
Do You Need a Bunded Tank?
In many cases, bunded tanks are required by law, particularly for commercial settings where fuel storage capacity exceeds 200 litres. Regulations such as the Guidance for Pollution Prevention mandate that above-ground fuel storage containers must have sufficient structural integrity to contain spills and prevent leaks. By choosing bunded tanks, businesses comply with these regulations while also enhancing safety and sustainability
