Fuel dispensing systems are essential infrastructure for logistics, transport, and commercial operations. When a system fails, businesses can lose valuable time and money. That’s exactly what happened when one of our loyal clients experienced a complete breakdown of their diesel bulk-flow refuelling system.
The incident occurred when a driver unintentionally forgot to disconnect the high-flow nozzle from the vehicle before driving away. The force of the vehicle pulled the nozzle, dragging out the diesel metering system and causing catastrophic failure.
At Handy Fuel WA, we understand that downtime equals lost productivity. That’s why our team acted fast — sourcing and installing replacement fuel equipment, including a new diesel meter and dispensing components, in record time. Within hours, the client was back to refuelling their own fleet and servicing delivery trucks.
To help prevent future incidents, we installed a safety breakaway/shear valve. This vital component ensures that if a similar drive-off happens again, the hose will safely detach without causing further damage to the equipment or environment.
From emergency fuel system repairs to diesel dispensing upgrades, we provide practical solutions for Western Australia's commercial and industrial sectors. If you need fuel equipment repaired, replaced or optimised, contact Handy Fuel WA — your trusted partner in fuel tank servicing and diesel equipment installation.
