Safer, Cleaner and More Reliable Overfill Protection Systems. Mechanical and Non-Pressurised Fuel Filling Valves. Safety Solutions for liquid filling. Hydrau Flo. Weir Minerals. Traditional Refuelling Systems. With flow rates up to 1,000 litres per minute and pressures up to 100 kilopascals, overfilling, spillage and tank rupture are common problems associated with refuelling. Hydrau-Flo® valves provide safer solutions for fuel filling The Hydrau-Flo® fuel filling valve system overcomes these problems without the need for electronics or complex arrangements prone to blockage and failure. The Hydrau-Flo® fuel filling system incorporates robustly designed fuel filler safety valves and float control valves to provide a reliable, hydraulically operated arrangement which depends on fluid level rather than pressure. The system is designed to be used in conjunction with existing “fast fill” systems. The Hydrau-Flo® fuel filling valve system: • Prevents overfilling • Prevents fuel spillage and wastage • Removes the risk of tank rupture due to pressure build up during and after filling • Minimises the risk of fire as a result of fuel spillage • Reduces costs associated with fuel wastage and equipment damage • Significantly improves safety and environmental outcomes • Ground level refuelling

Hydrau- Flo® valve history
1997 identified need from Multiflo customers- pressurizing fuel tanks leading to tank rupture.
1999 HF product commercialization
2001 product migration to mobile assets
Today, HF is installed on 10,000’s of machines around the world, in industries such as Mining, Rail, Oil & Gas, Transport & Maritime.
Hydrau - Flo® is a reliable and efficient way to avoid blowing up your fuel tank, keeping fuel off the ground and keeping your people safe!

Hydrau - Flo® valve history
Primarily used with viscosities of 1 +/- 10% diesel, water, coolant etc.
Has been recently used with oils 15W-90W (2-300 centistokes)
Is described as an overfill protection system
It removes the operator from determining fuel level in the tank during
refuelling
Rio Tinto are the largest end user specifier of HF
Westrac is the largest CAT dealer specifier of HF
Liebherr, ETF, GHH Fahrzeuge & Komatsu Australia factory fit Hydrau

Refueling landscape
Industry transitioned from splash filling to fast filling in circa 1980’s.
Fast filling provided better asset utilisation and dry break couplings reduced fuel spillage.
‘Wiggins’ pressurized refuelling became industry standard.

Refueling landscape
Pressurized fast filling delivered improved refuelling rates and auto shut off fuel guns.
Pressurized fast filling introduced serious new risks- Fuel tanks are now pressurized to 13psi
(possibly as much as 85psi) Operator can override fuel gun to top off the tank-
inducing a fuel spill
9Weir Minerals Multiflo
Known fuel spill events - reactive approach by industry
Operators estimate an average of 10-20L being spilled per fill, as well as spillage while in motion.
OEM reluctance to pass on cost - rather making this feature ‘optional’.
End user lack of understanding about risks with pressurised fast filling, until an event occurs.

Hydrau-Flo® Valve systems - mechanical and non-pressurized.
Final Comments
HF is complimentary (reliability and quality) to diesel powered assets.
HF is a proven product on fixed and mobile assets with OEM’s and end users.
Hydrau-Flo® Valve systems are distributed by a global network who’s core focus are the end users of the product.
Environmental contamination and control is a business imperative for operators- HF is a proven solution.
Hydrau-Flo® Valve systems are well suited for OEM’s and end users.
