5 Things in our latest Petrol Station Designs that Just Make Sense

Fuel Pump Bowser

1. Pay at the Pump

Whether customers are travelling with precious cargo in the car, are in a hurry, or are just observing the latest social distancing protocols; our Pay at the Pump system means less face to face contact – customers don’t even have to leave your car to complete your transaction. Convenience is a major deciding factor for customers when choosing a service outlet. Leave competitors in the dust by offering a seamless purchasing experience.

2. Energy Efficient

Being energy efficient is not only good for the environment, it is also good for the bottom line of your business. We help you save money on your power bills and keep your petrol station powered by incorporating solar panels on the forecourt roof. Our designs ensure the best possible performance from all aspects of your business infrastructure, from the pumps to the power.

3. Multi-Product Dispensers

Serve more customers, more often by having multiple products available at the one pump. Prevent line ups and keep traffic flowing smoothly by having your most popular petrol products available at more pumps, increasing your business without increasing the petrol station’s overall footprint or infrastructure.

4. ATG – Automatic Tank Gauging

Safety first! ATG means that petrol station console operators do not need to go onto the forecourt to dip the tanks. Gauging can be done from the safety of their computer, behind the store counter. Logistics teams can also dial up and view the fuel tank levels remotely, meaning they can more easily, effectively and proactively order your station’s next refill.

5. Business Hubs

Modern petrol stations are so much more than just a place to hurriedly fill up your car on the way home from work. Turn your station into a business hub by providing a complete business hub experience. Partner with favourite and local convenience stores, fast food stores, coffee hubs and auto mechanics to become a one stop shop for your customers.

Cairns 4WD Club

Cairns 4WD Club

The Cairns 4WD Club has been doing the Thornborough and Mt Mulligan Cemeteries clean-up annually since 1981.
On September 19th, 1921, 75 miners died in a coal dust explosion at Mt. Mulligan. Many residents lost their loved ones on this tragic day. For some families they lost both fathers and sons.
Keeping these sites tidy and maintained is important and respectful to the area’s history.
A special thank you to Craig from nqpetro for offering support in supplying refreshments after a hard days work for the club members who participated in this year’s annual clean-up.

Top 7 Benefits of a Fuel Maintenance Contract

Fuel Maintenance

1. Preventative Maintenance

Our preventative maintenance programs include rigorous testing, calibration and tank and line maintenance completed according to highest industry standards and best practice.

Tough working conditions plus regular wear and tear can all cause your fuel bowsers and fuel hoses to drift out of accuracy; or worse, could result in major system malfunctions that could end up costing millions of dollars in damage and repair.

Preventative maintenance services minimise the risk of failure and saves your business money by preventing fuel loss either through damage or through poor calibration (giving your customers more than they pay for!). This is particularly important if you need to keep track of fuel use for claiming fuel tax credits.

2. Detects Potential Problems Early

A fuel maintenance contract with Nqpetro prevents potential problems with your system from escalating to catastrophic levels. If addressed early, problems can often be fixed in a quick and cost-effective manner.

Maintenance is also an important aspect of securing your system’s environmental safety. Ongoing, reliable, and comprehensive maintenance on your Fuel Bowsers and Fuel Hoses minimises the risk of slits, spills and leaks that can cause forecourt spills, safety hazards, expensive clean-ups and potential fines.

3. Keeps Systems Running at Peak Performance

Regular maintenance and annual calibrations on your hoses and dispensing systems are essential to maintaining best practice fuel management and to delivering peak performance for both you and your customers.

Regular maintenance through a fuel maintenance contract also ensures that your fuel hoses always deliver the correct flow rate and your pumps are working to full capacity. Stay on top of the competition and give your customers the seamless and professional refuelling experience they deserve.

4. Emergency Support / 24 hr Callout Service when you Need It

6. Have all your Service History in One Place

Australian government auditing regulations and industry compliance obligations require that you keep thorough and accurate records of your fuel services and maintenance works.

Having a system in place to detect leaks and monitor environmental impacts of your fuel system, however this is only one piece of the puzzle. It is equally important that you have a comprehensive and well-recorded history of your efforts to ensure that your system is maintained to the highest health and safety standards.

Rest easy knowing that all your important, historical service information is safe and secure in one place and can be easily accessed to meet reporting or auditing requests at any time. You can also be assured that the service history information collected contains everything you need to meet your specific compliance needs.

7. Focus on other things and leave Maintenance to the Pros

You have more important things to do with your time than worry about maintaining your fuel infrastructure. It can be challenging to remember and coordinate regular maintenance when juggling a busy schedule, or when a pandemic knocks your routine out of order.

Let us do the busy work, give you peace of mind and use our expertise to create the best results for your business.
