Commercial over the Road

Commercial Applications

Great Lakes Brewing Company's SVO Delivery Truck converted by Golden Fuel Systems

Would you like to operate your fleet at a 30-50% discount from the current price of diesel? Even better, how would you like to celebrate rising oil prices knowing it further increases your cost advantage over the competition? Golden Fuel Systems dealers can save your operation 30-50% to start or even more on your current fleet operation costs and allow your organization to provide for its own fuel needs. Regardless of the price of diesel, our system technology along with our consulting services can not only lower your expenses but also help create a green image for your organization and assist you in capitalizing on tax benefits and carbon credits.

Commercial systems are divided between Medium Duty and Heavy Duty applications based on maximum potential fuel demands. Heavy duty commercial systems use our large valve systems and components while Medium duty trucks use or medium duty valves and components. Both are fully automated using the same software so operation by the drivers from one vehicle to another is the same. There is a wide variance between commercial truck configurations so we only offer these conversions through our trained dealer network. As a fleet operator, it is important to have a 100% reliable solution and a warranty to back it up; only our dealers can provide you with that so call one today to learn more.

Medium and Heavy Duty Commercial Systems

Modern commercial diesel engines have complex fuel delivery systems that require stringent tolerances for operation. Because of this, 100% vegetable oil Biofuels typically cannot be run straight without fuel system modification. This is especially true in cold climates where even Biodiesel cannot be run reliably. Golden Fuel Systems conversions allow diesel trucks and equipment to use 100% Biofuels such as Recycled Vegetable Oil (RVO) or B100 as their primary fuel in any condition. The system operates by switching between the factory diesel fuel system and the Golden Fuel System at the appropriate times to ensure long engine life and reliability. By switching between the two fuels, GFS systems overcome the issues associated with running RVO or B100 straight which could damages injection systems and/or creates reliability issues.

In addition the systems apply recaptured engine heat to the Biofuels in the tank, in the fuel line, and in the fuel filters. This heat allows the oil to flow like diesel reducing stress on injector pumps. When introduced to the fuel injectors at this temperature, proper fuel atomization and combustion occurs preventing cylinder build up or coking as well. Golden Fuel Systems are the only systems in the US designed especially for commercial engines and our stainless steel switching valves have been in service in Germany for several years producing over $101,000,000 in equivalent fleet fuel savings and 120,000,000 tons of Co2 emission reduction. We pride ourselves on having the most robust commercial 100% Biofuel systems on the market today. Combined with our fully automated controls that do all the necessary engine monitoring and fuel switching, converted vehicles require little to no training for your employees and drivers to operate once modified.

We have found there are significant variances between commercial trucks. Some of the conversions we have done in this category include box trucks, flatbeds, refrigeration setups, dump trucks, drill platforms, tankers, and even roll back towing rigs. While these setups vary how complex the installation is, the quality base components we install are constant.

Golden Fuel System Components: Our Quality Sets us Apart

GFS Smart Switch

With the Golden Fuel Systems Smart Switch, all system controls and fuel switching occur automatically by a computer and sensor array that constantly monitors engine and fuel conditions. The driver’s interaction is only required to fill up the tanks and change filters from time to time when prompted by the fuel pressure monitor. This makes driver training easy and consistent operation between vehicles and operators seamless. The smart switch system was designed by GFS for fleet owners to guarantee proper implementation by eliminating driver error.

GFS1000FH Vegetable Fuel Filter

Was developed based on the Racor 1000 filter body which is the most robust commercial diesel engine filter on the market today. Overtime the proprietary development of this filter has led to the most reliable longest filter life in the Biofuel industry. The GFS1000 also prevents the passing of suspended water which protects the engine against common Biofuel refining mistakes. Filter life can be monitored from inside the cab to predict change times and warn drivers of bad fuel quality in advance.

GFS Commercial Valves

The valves are the heart of our commercial system so we built them so robust they carry a lifetime warranty. They will handle the fuel demands of any diesel engine that you can mount them to from Semi Tractor to locomotive and they are an exclusive product available only from Golden Fuel Systems. Restrictive fuel systems can kill injector pumps and other expensive equipment. GFS will never compromise engine longevity for lower cost component pricing. We are long term partners with our customers.

GFS Triple Bypass Hose

GFS’ Triple Bypass fuel hose consists of two 1/2"coolant hoses and a 3/8" Parker fuel hose bundled together in a rubberized PVC sheath. This allows for maximized heat transfer to the fuel line and protection against chaffing. 3B is produced exclusively for GFS and meets our standards as well as DOT and Marine CFR standards for fuel line.

GFS Tank Heaters

GFS Tank heaters convert existing saddle fuel tanks or steel stationary tanks to be used with RVO or B100 so you do not have to buy an additional tank. This coolant-heated fuel pick-up accelerates switch-over times by using waste heat from the engine to maintain Biofuel temperatures. The stainless steel tube not only heats the oil as it is drawn up through the fuel pick-up, but also heats the tank as it radiates heat outward.

Medium Duty and Heavy Duty System Pricing

Customers usually achieve a return on their total conversion investment in fuel cost savings within 8,000 – 13,000 miles of travel. We can also help you source clean vegetable oil Biofuels in your region or as you travel.
