If your fleet donesn't fuel on-site, this will sound like gibberish to you!

We have a single diesel pump with two hoses here and it has been running on a 20 year old Gasboy TopKat fleetkey system. Various features have stopped working over the last 5 and I've limped it by, but it finally gave out last week. It's totally obsolete, so it's done.

The dealer who sold it has stopped handling this brand and quoted us an OPW Petrovend system for big bucks.

The super asked me to contact our fuel supplier for other options and they presented Tecalemit's Superbox Gen II at about 1/3 of the price. This is made in Germany, shipped from their US headquarters in Texas. It looks like a very plain system that offers basic information, which is really all we need here.

Anybody familiar with this system?

I do not mean to skip your direct question as I have no knowledge of the system stated above.

I have used Megatronics out of San Antonio, Texas since 1998. I am in California. I would highly recommend there product.

Good Luck.

Do you have a competitor that has Gilbarco products? I use a Fleet Key Gasboy CFN-III, and a Veeder Root TLS-300. If my vendor quit handling it I'd have to go looking for support elsewhere.

Yeah there are at least two other vendors within 100 miles that handle the brand. My particular system is no longer supported by the manufacturer.

Here with our shops we use profuel 2
card loc system just like self serve at a gas station logs your
1.unit number
2.mileage
3.and each bus has its own card with passcode
now this works with us due to the fact that every shop has its own refueling station and computers in the shop download the info from pumps
