We fit a top mounted gauge as standard. This has the advantage that should it be damaged there will be no resultant leaking of fuel, unlike side mounted sight gauges. In addition the gauge unscrews to allow filling of the unit from a storage facility. The gauge can then be replaced and the unit wheeled to the vehicle  where quick, efficient and clean refuelling can take place. This versatility has proved very popular with companies stocking vehicles on large sites and the FR35 Yard Version (see below) is ideally suited to travelling further distances over rougher terrain. 

Should you have a particular requirement please do not hesitate to contact us. We can manufacture to your specific requirements.

There are several standard models available:

FR12 - Fuel Retriever

In some instances specific fuel tank designs inhibit the usage of standard fuel retrievers. The hose adapter kit was designed to be used in conjunction with a fuel retriever to facilitate the fuel draining operation of vehicles which are fitted with complex fuel filler systems. (The adapter kit was designed in conjunction with leading motor organisations and manufacturers)

FRSS - Safety Sign

Buy Direct The Fuel Retriever Safety Sign consists of a free standing metal frame containing a warning sign informing personnel within the vicinity that fuel draining is in progress. The sign is written in bold print and contains pictorial diagrams prohibiting dangerous acts. This is particularly useful if you are draining in an area where the public or staff not aware of the safety aspect of procedure may have access.
