FuelSafe from Ideonics can help in monitoring diesel usage in generators. The innovative probe developed by Ideonics gives an accuracy of 1 mm in fuel heightand helps in providing accurate information about fuel fills and drains. With additional information such as running time of the generator, consumption per hour of the generator it helps one take full control of fuel expenses incurred in running the generator.

Pilferages With
FuelSafe
Pilferage Dictionary: Condensed Version
Higher CPH Claim
Short-fill
Noun
Noun
Claim the consumption per hour to
be much higher than the actual
eg. instead of 34 litres per hour which is the
actual consumption per hour claim 45 litres
per hour and bill more based on the duration
of operation of the generator
Falsely represent a fill
eg. fill 180 litres instead of 200 litres and
claim to have filled 200 litres
Running Time Manipulation
Noun
Alteration of running time to claim
higher consumption based on a predefined consumption per hour
eg. instead of 4 hours of running, claim a
running of 8 hours
Drain
Noun
Make empty or dry by drawing off
liquid
eg. remove diesel from the storage tank of
the generator

9. Case Study 1:
Potential
Irregularity :
Short-fill
Savings per year:
INR 300,000/The operation of Generator (380kVA) used by our customer was outsourced to a third
party.
The vendor for the particular site claimed that they were always filling 200 litres for each
fill. FuelSafe was reporting around 180 litres.
A surprise check was carried out and verified that FuelSafe data was correct.
The institution started paying the vendor based on the data reported by FuelSafe thus
accruing annualized Savings of INR 300,000!
10. Case Study 2:
Potential
Irregularity :
Short-fill
Savings per year:
INR 126,000/125 kVA Diesel Generator used by our customer was fuelled by its own operator.
The process set in was that the generator would be fueled at the rate of 50 litres per fill.
FuelSafe was reporting around 46-47 litres.
It was further verified by the management that the data reported by FuelSafe was correct.
The customer saved 3-4 litres per fill. Annualized Savings of INR 126,000!
11. Case Study 3:
Potential
Irregularity :
CPH Manipulation
Savings per year:
INR 427,180/The customer, a retail store, used to buy diesel based on the number of hours its 140kVA
generator ran.
The operator at the site claimed the consumption per hour(CPH) to be 27 litres per hours.
This was taken as the benchmark.
The CPH determined by FuelSafe was 14.6 litres per hour as against the 27 lph claimed by
the operator.
The saving was 44.3%! Annualized Savings of INR 427,180!
12. Case Study 4:
Inefficient
Practices:
Extra running
Savings per year:
INR 1,080,000/The customer, a tech park, was switching on the generator (1010kVA) much before power
cut and switching off much after power returned.
The average extra running was 15 minutes per run.
There were two power cuts per day of 30 minutes each totaling one hour. Extra running
per month was 15 hours.
With CPH of 120 litres per hour , the annualized savings is around INR 1,080,000!
13. Case Study 5:
Inefficient
Practices:
Load efficiency
Savings per year:
67%
At a Construction site , with the use of FuelSafe it was calculated that the diesel cost per
unit was INR 40!
The reason was low capacity utilization. The load on the generator was under 10% of
optimum load.
The diesel cost for this customer was over Rs 150,000 per month and even doubling the
load or rightsizing the generator would result in huge savings.
FuelSafe helped in the identification of the problem and helped in bringing down the per
unit cost to INR 13.23, thus saving around 67%!
14. Case Study 6:
Inefficient
Practices:
Extra running
Savings per year:
56%
At a construction site, FuelSafe helped cut fuel expenses by 56%!
Armed with FuelSafe data the construction company compared the performance of four
of its sites. The most efficient site had 132 starts in one month and the average run was
1:20 hours. Against this, current site that had 34 starts and average run of 11:45 Hours.
Conclusion : The first site switched off when not needed. The second site switched on in
the morning and ran he generator till work finished in the evening.
The first site’s total running was 175 hours for the month while the second site was 399
hours.
