Diesel Fuel Saving Flow Meters for Work Boats

Flow Meter Application:

Determining fuel used for generating power on work boats reduces the amount of taxes owed. Additionally, accurate data about motor performance can pinpoint efficiency problems resulting in fuel savings. When fuel prices soar this cost savings increases, creating a demand for an accurate system to determine “net use.” The GPI GM005 meter combined with the GX500 provides a “green” solution for reducing fuel used in work boats.

Flow Meter Problem:

Fuel use on work boats determines the tax paid on fuel. Fuel used for generating power is not taxed. Until recently,boat captains had no way to accurately determine the amount of fuel used for generating power. Estimating this difference often resulted in overpayment of taxes. Determining accurate net use, helps compare efficiency between boat engines. Adjustments can then result in additional fuel savings.

Flow Meter Solution:

GPI’s GM005 combined with the GX500 provides an accurate way to measure net use. One GM005 and GX500 is installed on the supply line with a second pair installed on the return line. This system allows an operator to compare fuel consumption versus speed and achieve the most efficient use of fuel. Reducing fuel costs, tax relief and “green” benefits result by using the GPI “net use” method.

How-to install a PVDF Flowmeter from GPI

I was going through some “stuff” here at GPI and I found a video on how-to install our PVDF flowmeter.  It is a bit “old school” but for the most part it is accurate.  I  had to chuckle a little bit because the background music is so 1980′s. 

Check it out below and if you have questions about GPI flowmeters in general feel free to e-mail us or call us at 316-686-7361.
