4.0 Dispensing FuelLink
Click Dispense from the Main Menu to Dispense Fuel.
4.1 Dispense OptionsLink
We have built Fuellox to satisfy a range of customer needs. For this reason it is possible to collect various parameters each time fuel is dispensed. Your organisation will have established a policy to ensure they collect the data they need to administer the Fuellox System.
4.2 Dispense ParametersLink
The Following Parameters can be collected with each fuel transaction. Parameters can be REQUIRED
or OPTIONAL
.
CLIENT
Your Customers are reffered to asClients
within FuelloxSITES
Each Client has one or more Sites. A Site is the place they actually do the work.PROJECTS
Are not exclusive to a Client or Site, but to the entire Company that runs the Fuellox. Project may operate across a range of Clients/Sites
Fuellox Paramaters can be configured in four ways:
CLIENT
andSITE
PROJECT
CLIENT
andSITE
andPROJECT
- No Paramaters at all
In some cases Parameters are not collected, and you will not be required to select anything.
4.3 Selecting ParametersLink
Simply tap the screen for the parameter you wish to select (ie Client
, Site
or Project
) and a list will be shown. Tap an option in that list to select it and return to the dispense menu.
The methods to select either CLIENT
or SITE
or PROJECT
is the same.
Notes on EquipmentLink
In some cases Fuellox is configured such that the Client owns the Equipment. Rather than the Fuellox owner having their own fleet it allows each of your customers to have a fleet independant of the other equipment.
In this case, you may need to select your Client prior to revealing the Equipment List.
If you are unsure or confused, touch base with our Support Desk and we'll chat it over with you.

Notes on rangeLink
Fuellox expects you to be within approx 10m to use the system. You will notice the Range Slider fluctuate as you move around. If it goes red, you could lose the connection, which will stop the pump.
Should the connection break, get back close to the Fuellox unit and the connection should automagically re-establish itself and start the pump again. If not, you will need to start the dispense transaction again.
