Results
Since 2009, Groundhog has recorded more than 12 million hours of trouble-free operation. FuelActive fuel pick-up units are now included in the Groundhog manufacturing process.
Fuel-related breakdowns were eradicated following the installation of FuelActive significantly reducing the cost call-outs to the machines, replacement of fuel filters and lowering the amount of fuel consumption.
Because Fuelactive stripped out the various fuel contaminants, only clean fuel was being burned which reduced the amount of fuel being consumed.
