FloControl Press Release 2

Winning ways with Flo Control fuel can!

Win less fuel costs

A typical Landscape Garden Company uses 200 litres of fuel per day, 5 days a week, and 20 days per month, and has a fuel bill of £4,000 per month. The company would typically use 40 cans within its workforce.

Research amongst many landscape and grounds maintenance companies produced evidence that between 10 – 20% of fuel was lost due to spillage and over filling of machines, If we take a conservative estimate of 10% lost, then with our typical company that would be £400 worth of fuel per month, and if they decided to replace just half of their 40 cans, then 20 cans @£15 each would cost them £300, which they would recover in just 6 weeks.

Win TIME

Each of the 5 litre fuel can is used approximately 5 times per day to refuel generally small 500 or 750 ml fuel tanks on strimmers, chainsaws and hedge trimmers. Using the Flow control can you save on average 1 minute at each refill, so with 40 cans in use that is 5 minutes per can per day, or 200 minutes a day, or over 20 day month that’s 1,000 minutes per week, or just over 16 hours, or 2 days, those minutes could be spent doing more strimmer or cutting, and not re filling the machine.

Win less maintenance

Because of the provision of the spout cap, the Flow Control Can can be left ready to use, the spout cap will protect the inside of the spout from contamination from dust or dirt, so delivering clean fuel every time, cutting down on the cost of maintaining the machines you fill, and prolonging the life of those machines.

Quick simple measuring for 2 or 4 stroke using the measuring spout to measure oil for correct mix.

Win health & safety

The Health & Safety benefits of using this Can. There is a reduction in emissions as less time is needed to re fill, so less exposure and less vapour is released into the atmosphere. Less spillage which can result in fewer accidents, not only because it reduces the spillage that often occurs onto hot engines, but results in less fuel spilt in the workplace. The Flow control Fuel can is a safer way to deliver fuel

A sunken filler hole prevents over filling and leaves room for expansion, non detachable spout so you cannot lose it. The can also has a dead mans handle, so even if you knock it over, or fall over with the can in use, NO fuel will come out.

Colour coded discs to help prevent wrong fuel being added to wrong engines.

Win less emissions

Using a Flow Control Fuel can reduces your carbon footprint by up to 90%!!! Preparing the can and emptying 5 litres of fuel in just 20 seconds, important if you’re on the side of a busy road.
