Tanker Metering Upgrade.

When Carrs Billington approached Alpeco, they were looking for a metering solution that would deliver improved accuracy, enhanced operational control and seamless integration with their existing fuel systems.

As a long-established provider of agricultural and industrial fuels, Carrs Billington required a system that would support day-to-day delivery operations with accurate measurement, dependable performance and minimal disruption during installation.

The challenge.

Carrs Billington’s existing metering registers were ageing and posed reliability and maintenance issues. With accuracy being a priority for both internal reporting and customer confidence, the business needed an upgrade that would:

  • Provide improved measurement accuracy across fuel deliveries
  • Integrate with existing site infrastructure without extended downtime
  • Reduce future maintenance risk by using modern, supported components

Carrs Billington’s operational team recognised that an effective metering overhaul would help streamline deliveries, reduce disputes and future-proof their tanker fleet.

What we did.

Alpeco conducted a thorough site survey and collaborated with Carrs Billington to specify a tailored solution centred around a TEX electronic metering system.

Key elements of the solution included:

  • Full replacement of ageing mechanical registers with electronic metering equipment
  • Integration of the TEX flow computer to provide enhanced control and accurate transaction reporting
  • Calibration and setup to ensure measurement performance exceeded industry expectations

Installation was scheduled to fit around the client’s operational requirements to minimise downtime. Alpeco provided on-site support to ensure the system was commissioned correctly and training was delivered to the Carrs Billington team.

The result.

The implemented metering solution delivered a significant step change in both operational confidence and measurement accuracy. Carrs Billington now benefit from:

  • Improved delivery accuracy helping to reduce customer disputes
  • Easier access to reliable, auditable transaction data
  • Lower maintenance risk thanks to modern, supported components
  • A smoother delivery workflow with reduced downtime during changeover

The deployment demonstrated that thoughtful specification and expert implementation can make a substantial difference to day-to-day distribution operations.

The transition to the new metering system has been seamless. Alpeco’s team were professional, knowledgeable and worked with us every step of the way. Our deliveries are now more reliable, and the accurate readings give us confidence for both operations and invoicing.
