News Working in conjunction with most fuel management systems, fuel is dispensed to an accuracy of +/-0.5% and a six digit backlit main LCD display with ongoing totaliser lets the owner know how much fuel drivers are dispensing. A choice of left or right nozzle holster is ideal when space is limited. Designed to meet customer demand, the product was developed here in the UK by Hytek’s Technical Manager, Clive Wellings. He said: “On the outside, the new pump is identical to the already popular Alpha series but on the inside we have taken precautions to ensure that the product is 100% compatible with biodiesel.” Special components ensure smooth dispensing and guarantee that the pump works to high standards. Hytek advise you to remind your customers that biodiesel acts as a detergent. Adding it to storage tanks that used to hold normal diesel could cause problems, blocking filters. Hytek offer a 12 month pump warranty providing the biodiesel in use is refined to meet the European standard EN14214. The ALPHA for Biodiesel joins an extensive range of fuelling equipment, including the ALPHA FC10 fuel pump, which offers a built in fuel control system and fuel management software. Also available is the standalone FC20 model which connects to existing pumps, either in floor or wall/tank mount options. Hytek products are available only through distributors.
