Diesel and Petrol sales in South Africa total more than R800million per day. The theft of fuel is a massive industry and this valuable commodity forms part of a system that is costing companies dearly. Most businesses do not know where and when the fuel is being stolen, believing that it is drained or siphoned on the side of the road. Digit fleet and fuel management knows that this is not always the case, and our research shows that most stolen fuel never reaches the vehicle’s tank.

How DFuel fleet and fuel management works

A fuel sensor is installed with a
communication device giving you
updates of your fuel levels every 4 minutes

The single highest recurring expense in most business is the cost of running their vehicle fleet. A saving of only 1% may be all that is needed to move a company from a position of loss to profit. Over the past 9 years, Digit has fitted systems that have saved companies not only money, but in some cases, literally prevented them from going insolvent.

Digit fleet and fuel management has developed the DFuel solution to monitor fuel levels in vehicles and storage facilities. Controlling fuel theft is about management and this valuable resource cannot be controlled without being measured. DFuel is capable of reporting fuel levels live, 24 hours a day with updates arriving at your desktop mere seconds after being measured. It is the best product for diesel theft prevention in South Africa.

DFuel fleet and fuel management solutions were designed for vehicle installations, to keep you informed of fuel in a vehicle whilst it is travelling as well as if it stops to refuel. The latest systems work just as well in static installations and we can now handle fuel storage tanks 3m deep. Huge improvements in the design means that we enjoy better accuracy, longer service life and the ability to handle petrol as well as diesel.

Coupled with the Digit fleet and fuel management solution, the Digit software can produce reports that include information to manage and correlate fuel slips. For the first time operators can check if the fuel they are paying for actually arrives in the truck tank. Digit fleet and fuel management is able to show all fuel adds, where they occurred, the date and time and how many litres were added. The same applies to any thefts.

Depending on the shape and size of the tank, once calibrated, accuracy is typically better than 1% error. With training and support from the Digit team, we will give you the tools to understand this technology so that it becomes the most valuable tool in your expense control.
