SMART FUEL Maddux Business Report - July 2002 Article Link A Clearwater company, SCI International, allows the managers of fleets of cars and trucks to control mistakes, waster and fraud, at company fuel pumps. The product called SmartFuel employs a tiny radio signal transmitter that is fastened to a vehicle's gas tank and fuel pump to make sure that fuel will flow only when the correct fuel nozzle is inserted into the correct tank for the correct driver. The SmartFuel system is controlled by a wireless radio frequency modem connected to the fleet manager's office computer. It can be installed on electronic or older mechanical fuel pumps, the company says. The company says that the technology evolved from radio technology developed by the Israeli Air Force to control fuel flow during in-flight refueling of aircraft. See www.sciww.com.
