Farms Always Need SFGO

All farm machinery - tractors, combines, etc. - rely on SFGO.

The Glen Fuels agri customers across three sectors - dairy, tillage and dry stock - require a full tank of SFGO 24/7.

Using a stick to dip the oil tank is not an exact science and the reading is often inaccurate. This, combined with a full farming schedule morning, noon and night, means dipping the oil tank is often put on the long finger or clean forgotten about.

Farmers Always Have Oil in the Tank

Every week, especially from February through September, agri customers call us in a panic as they have run out of oil. 

They discover they've run out when the tractor pulls up to the tank to refuel and nothing comes out of the hose. 

The net result is that key activities grind to a halt - cattle cannot be fed if the bales cannot be moved, fields cannot be ploughed, silage cannot be cut and seeds cannot be sown. Suddenly the tight schedule is running amock. 

The Glen Fuels Magnus™ Monitor System gives our agri customers complete control over their farms and its productivity because: 

1. They can check their oil level from their smartphone/laptop
2. Glen Fuels is monitoring the level of oil in the tank 24/7

With so many eyes monitoring the tank, the farmer never runs out of oil and the farm never grinds to an inconvenient halt.

Running Out of Oil Damages Machinery

In addition to slowing or stopping productivity on the farm, a run-out has other unintended consequences. 

Pumping oil into a completely empty tank means sediment that has settled at the base of the tank is disturbed. The gushing flow of the oil entering the tank causes the sediment to spin around in the body of the oil. If a fleet of tractors have to refuel as soon as the tank has been topped up, this sediment is going into the engine. A blocked filter slows things down and changing the filter means extra cost of time and money. 

Ideally a tank should be filled before it runs dry. This means sediment (a) is less likey to swish around and (b) if some sediment is disturbed, it has time to settle because the machinery is out doing its own work. 

Never Run Out of Oil
