Driving reduced CO₂ emissions and fuel use in mining
Fuel quality begins to decline from the moment delivery starts—but many mines don’t realise it until it’s too late. As fuel degrades, it silently drives up consumption, CO₂ emissions and ultimately mine operating costs. FuelActive is the only in-tank, fit-and-forget system that protects fuel quality and keeps equipment running efficiently from day one.
Proven worldwide to save mines millions in fuel costs and reduce tonnes of CO₂. The current monitored projects show…

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 mining sector, FuelActive operates at all levels of fuel within the tank and is unaffected by agitation of the fuel in use.

FAQs
FuelActive is a true fit-and-forget technology — once installed, it starts working the moment your machine does. Thanks to its versatile design and the support of our dedicated engineering team, FuelActive fits most machine types used in mining operations, 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.
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.
How much maintenance does FuelActive require?
FuelActive has been designed to be a ‘fit-and-forget’ technology due to the fact there are no wearing or replacement parts within the unit. That means there is no maintenance needed over the lifecycle of the product.
What types of fuel does FuelActive work with?
FuelActive works effectively with all hydrocarbon (diesel / petroleum / kerosene), biofuels and HVO fuels.
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.
"The FuelActive system delivers improved fuel efficiency, reduced emissions and, in countries that don't have the best fuel quality, it will ensure that component life is maximised."
