Delivering sustainability and fuel savings in construction
FuelActive is a unique product that delivers 92% cleaner fuel to an engine. This makes a huge difference to fuel consumption and harmful CO₂ emissions, reducing both on average by 3% to 5%. And with ever increasing fuel costs and pressure to reach emissions reduction targets, it’s a small investment that could make a big difference to the planet and your pocket.

How FuelActive Works
Unlike a standard fuel pickup pipe, the revolutionary FuelActive unit uses a dynamic floating pick-up that draws clean fuel from the top of the fuel level, thus avoiding the harmful contaminants that settle at the bottom of the fuel tank.
Well suited to the construction sector, FuelActive operates at all levels of fuel within the tank and is unaffected by agitation of the fuel in use.
FuelActive & Leading Construction Company L Lynch Plant Hire
Leading national rental business L Lynch Plant Hire & Haulage is equipping all of its new articulated dump trucks and dozers with the FuelActive clean fuel delivery system, following extensive on-site trials. The company predicts that it will remove 970 tonnes of CO₂ from the atmosphere and cut £370,000 in fuel costs from its ADT fleet alone, in a full operating year.
"The machines with the FuelActive system averaged a 3.6% fuel saving. That’s equal to a £9,000 reduction in fuel over a year across the 10 trucks."

FAQs
FuelActive is an award-winning fit-and-forget technology — once installed, it starts working the moment your equipment does. Thanks to its versatile design and the support of our dedicated engineering team, FuelActive fits most machine types used in construction, helping you keep equipment running cleaner and longer.
How does FuelActive work?
Unlike a standard fuel pickup pipe, the revolutionary FuelActive unit uses a dynamic floating pick-up that draws clean fuel from the top of the fuel level, thus avoiding the harmful contaminants that settle at the bottom of the fuel tank.
What type of equipment can you fit FuelActive to?
Our knowledgeable and friendly team at FuelActive are always on hand to help you select the right FuelActive unit for your equipment. With an extensive product portfolio matched to the most popular equipment brands and models, FuelActive can offer ‘off the shelf’ installation with short delivery times. For less popular models, confirming fit is easy and often only requires a quick survey of the equipment’s fuel tank to confirm specification.
How can FuelActive prevent breakdowns?
By sending cleaner fuel to the engine, FuelActive protects sensitive fuel system and engine components such as filters, fuel pumps and injectors from premature wear, allowing the engine to operate closer to factory emission and fuel economy levels for longer.
Can FuelActive support my sustainability journey?
Yes, one of the major benefits of FuelActive is it starts reducing CO₂ emissions from the moment the unit is installed and the machine gets to work.
By delivering cleaner fuel through to the engine, FuelActive protects sensitive engine components, ensuring the preservation of fuel economy, thereby maintaining OEM standard for longer.
FuelActive improves combustion by ensuring filters remain efficient, keeping injector spray patterns precise, which maximises energy from every drop. This reduces fuel consumption and therefore CO₂ emissions.
Will FuelActive work at low fuel level or whilst my equipment is in motion?
Due to their relative density, contaminates such as water, sediment, rust and microbial growth (diesel bug) settle quickly and reside at the bottom of the fuel tank. In a standard fuel tank, contaminates are invariably drawn into the fuel system by a conventional narrow bore pick up pipe by process of suction (low pressure / high velocity).
In complete contrast, the dynamic float not only positions itself within the cleaner upper layers, but creates a unique flow dynamic by diffusing localised pressure, that even at low level, avoids contaminates such as water, by drawing the cleanest fuel available in the tank via a vent and not directly from the bottom of the fuel tank. Furthermore, the performance of FuelActive is unaffected by agitation (sloshing) of the fuel inside the fuel tank.
Will I ever need to replace FuelActive?
FuelActive is designed to exceed the life of the equipment and comes with a 5-Year warranty on all standard products. With millions of hours in use worldwide and ‘zero’ failures across the most demanding of sectors FuelActive is consistently proven to last and perform in the most demanding applications.
"FuelActive will give us a return on capital in less than a year, in fact in just eight months, in all my years of investing in plant equipment, I’ve never known anything with such a quick return."
