Are you looking for a cost effective solution for cutting the fuel costs of operating your vessel? How much money would you save if you could save 20-30% per gallon? Have you wondered how to decrease your vessels impact on the environment? Do you wish you could run B100 Biodiesel in cold climates or use other vegetable oil based fuels? What if you could do all of these things with one simple solution that is user friendly, reliable, and cost effective?

Green My Fleet has the training and experience to convert your vessel to function reliably on 100% vegetable oil Biofuels in any weather using our unique commercial grade valves and Golden Fuel Systems Smart Switch fuel management system. We have thousands of customers running on Straight Vegetable Oil saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in diesel expense daily. Due to the number of variations and complexity of onboard power sources, fuel and coolant plumbing, and tank positioning in these types of applications, we only offer quotes on these conversions after viewing the vessel.

Marine Applications

Systems for Marine Applications can be simple and cost effective and make use of 100% Biofuels more user friendly and automated. Pricing varies as no vessels are the same and there are many Golden Fuel Systems options to consider as well. To give an accurate estimate a GFS dealer will need to actually have a look at your vessel in person so give one a call today.

In general, estimates range from $3761 + $760 for automation and increase with vessel size. Customers usually get their total investment back in the first few months of operation.!

Some of the key features of all of these systems are:

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 and longest filter life in the industry. The GFS1000 also prevents the passing of suspended water which protects the engine against common RVO 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 Stainless Commercial Valves

The valves are the heart of our commercial system. 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. Lesser more restrictive fuel systems can destroy 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 100% Biofuel rated hose bundled together in a rubberized PVC sheath. This PVC sheath bundles the Biofuel line with hot coolant lines allowing for maximized heat transfer to the fuel line as well as protection against chaffing. This is produced exclusively for GFS and meets our rigorous standards as well as DOT and Marine CFR standards. This hose keeps 100% Biofuels hot from the tank to the engine even in -30 degree weather.

Professional Dealer and Warranty Support Nationally

Golden fuel systems dealers are experienced in the automotive and diesel repair industry and are available in many states to service your vessel and answer questions as they arise. They have their own facilities and professional staff to assist you. They also have quality Biofuel on hand to sell or may assist you in finding Biofuel while you are traveling.

Popular Option with Our Marine System:

GFS Smart Switch

With the Golden Fuel Systems Smart Switch, all system controls and fuel switching are controlled automatically by a computer. The computer’s sensor array constantly monitors engine and fuel conditions and eliminates almost all common user mistakes that have made running 100% Biofuels unreliable in the past. The operators interaction is only required to fill up the tanks and change filters from time to time when prompted by the fuel pressure monitor. The operator has nothing new to learn except how to locate good Biofuel; the Smart Switch does the rest. Best of all, it will eliminate the most common form of operator induced engine damage that occurs when a hot engine is shut down on vegetable oil based Biofuel. The Smart Switch protects engines by purging the Biofuel from the engine when you turn your engine off automatically preventing long term damage. This is an investment to assure your engine is protected from operator error.
