Dresser Wayne E85 Dispensers Receive UL Approval
(Dresser Wayne) Dresser Wayne, a global innovator of fuel dispensers and technologies, announced today that its Reliance® E-Series fuel dispensers for retail and fleet applications received Underwriters Laboratories (UL) certification for dispensing ethanol up to E85. The Reliance E-Series dispenser’s UL certification follows the recent UL certification of the Dresser Wayne Ovation® Eco Fuel retail dispenser, and expands Dresser Wayne’s portfolio of compliant alternative-fuel offerings for both retail and fleet customers.
Underwriters Laboratories sets safety standards and conducts compliance-testing on a wide range of products. Complete ethanol-dispenser systems must meet strict requirements for materials compatibility and safety. In order to dispense ethanol up to and including E85, the equipment must be designed to address ethanol’s corrosive properties. The UL certification for the Reliance E-Series dispenser offers customers an effective, compliant solution for the delivery of alternative fuels.
“There are a large number of flex-fuel vehicles in government fleets with renewable fuel requirements, but they often lack the supporting local infrastructure for E85 fueling,” says Scott Negley, director of Alternative Energy Products for Dresser Wayne. “UL certification of our E85 Reliance E-Series dispensers can make it easier for government and business fleet customers to gain approval from local authorities for the installation of E85 fleet-fueling facilities.”
Reliance E-Series fuel dispensers are available in several configurations for application versatility. The Reliance E/G6200 dispenser series includes heavy-duty features for general private-fleet fueling, while the rugged Reliance E/G5200 dispenser series has a mechanical volume- and price-register for economical retail fueling. The Reliance S1 E/G6101 shelf-mounted dispenser is specially designed for fleet-fueling from above-ground storage tanks.
UL’s certification of the Reliance E-Series dispenser for E85 expands upon its interim approval of the dispenser for E25 ethanol blends earlier this year. READ MORE
Dresser Wayne, a global innovator of fuel dispensers and technologies, announced today that its Ovation® Eco Fuel dispenser has been certified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) for E85. The Ovation Eco Fuel dispenser is one of the first UL-approved alternative-fuel dispensers, and further illustrates Dresser Wayne’s commitment to green refueling technologies.
”As alternative fuels become more widely accepted, we are developing the infrastructure necessary to support our retailers as they add these fuels to their product offerings,” explains Scott Negley, director of Alternative Energy Products for Dresser Wayne. “Receiving UL approval for E85 is an important and exciting step in that direction.”
Underwriters Laboratories sets safety standards, conducts testing, and provides certification for a wide range of products, including complete ethanol-dispenser systems, which must be designed to address the corrosive properties of ethanol. This UL certification signifies that the Ovation Eco Fuel dispenser meets stringent materials-compatibility and safety criteria for dispensing ethanol up to and including E85. This certification helps ensure that E85 retailers are in compliance with industry standards and can confidently offer cost-effective, earth-friendly fuels to their customers.
In addition to its UL certification, the Ovation Eco Fuel dispenser features the industry-leading Xflo™ Meter, which offers unparalleled accuracy. The Ovation’s customer-inspired design provides a seamless, intuitive fueling experience and other user-friendly benefits such as an ATM-style soft-key interface, clutter-free side-drape hoses, and fast fueling rates.
