Alpeco’s TEX Retrofit Solution.

Semmens Fuels approached Alpeco to explore ways of improving fleet efficiency while extending the life of existing tanker equipment.

With accuracy, reliability and uptime all critical to daily operations, the business required a modern solution that avoided unnecessary vehicle replacement.

The challenge.

Semmens Fuels were operating tankers fitted with ageing metering systems that were becoming increasingly difficult to maintain. Full replacement was costly and disruptive, yet performance improvements were essential to support efficient delivery operations.

The challenge was to modernise the fleet without introducing extended downtime or unnecessary capital expenditure.

What we did.

Alpeco specified and supplied the TEX Retrofit solution, allowing Semmens Fuels to upgrade their existing metering systems with modern electronic control technology.

The solution included:

  • Installation of TEX flow computers to replace outdated register systems
  • Integration with existing tanker equipment to minimise disruption
  • Calibration and commissioning to ensure accurate, repeatable performance

The retrofit approach enabled a smooth transition with minimal impact on day-to-day operations.

The result.

The upgraded fleet now benefits from improved accuracy, enhanced operational control and reduced maintenance risk. Semmens Fuels were able to modernise their delivery equipment while avoiding the cost and downtime associated with full system replacement.

The TEX Retrofit solution has helped extend asset life while supporting more efficient and reliable delivery operations.

The retrofit approach gave us exactly what we needed. We’ve improved accuracy and reliability without taking vehicles off the road for long periods.
