Fueling experience is largely determined by the quality of equipment you use at your gas station. High quality gas station equipment serves to deliver a positive customer experience, while low quality gas station equipment leaves your customers with a bad experience that they may “always remember”.
Fueling nozzles in this context are of special significance.
Fueling nozzles are the most used equipment at your gas station. They represent the most frequent (and critical) handshake you have with your fuel customers. Any issues in the fueling nozzles – leaks or malfunctions– can exhibit a negative brand image of your gas station and also potentially cause you to lose your customers. In addition, leaky fueling nozzles can be a risk to the environment.
Therefore, it’s really very important that you use only high quality fueling nozzles at your gas station.
Research indicates that high quality fueling nozzles have relative longer service life than low quality (or rebuilt) nozzles. They are also, approximately two times more reliable.
At first glance, using low quality fueling nozzles seemingly makes more economical sense as they’re cheaper compared to high quality fueling nozzles. However, considering everything, they are simply not worth investing in.
Do the math: A high quality fueling nozzle costs you $XXX. A low quality fueling nozzle costs $(XXX – YYY). However, with low quality fueling nozzle, also comes the risks of losing your customers, negative publicity and heavy EPA fines. Now, compare the prices of both equipment. Which is cheaper?
It stands to firm reasoning that high quality fuel oil nozzles are the best choice of equipment for your gas station and represent the best value for money.
Be smart; avoid low quality fueling nozzles and invest in quality-built nozzles.
