Our Company

Experts in fuel management and fuel contamination, FuelActive have developed a unique method of delivering 92% cleaner fuel to the engine by drawing fuel from just below the surface of the fuel tank, bulk storage unit or fuel cube. Standard diesel engines and storage units draw fuel from the bottom of the fuel tank where water, sediment, diesel bug and other contaminants settle.

Fuel Contamination Solution

The unique and patented fuel pick-up system ensures that only clean fuel enters the fuel lines eliminating the costly effects of fuel contamination. Not only that, because the engine is burning only clean fuel, the thermal efficiency of the engine reduces fuel consumption whilst maintaining factory-level emissions standards through its life cycle.

Today, FuelActive operate globally working with major OEM’s such as Komatsu and Cummins along with customers within the mining, transport, rail, construction and power sectors. To find out more about our customers, visit our case study section.

Fuel Contamination Impact

The story of FuelActive® began in 1998 through the vision of our founder Mike James. An engineer by trade, Mike has worked for over 40 years in equipment repair and maintenance. He witnessed first-hand the huge impact breakdowns were having on the UK Construction Industry – 85% of which are caused by fuel contamination.

The ‘light bulb moment’ and realisation of the FuelActive concept came about while Mike was working in conjunction with Hydrainer Pumps. A major new customer at the time, Hydrainer had experienced equipment failure after just 10 minutes from delivery to the site.

Citing fuel contamination to be the culprit, Mike created a prototype fuel pick-up. Hydrainer Pumps were keen to try it and installed the FuelActive® unit. As a result, Mike produced a number more, all were installed, making subtle changes to become easier to manufacture and install.

This initial unit proved highly successful and more in-depth trials were arranged for further testing. After an extensive period of research and development - FuelActive® was born.
