_III. KEY MANAGEMENT QUESTIONS
AMk
Why Acquire a System?
What are the benefits of obtaining an automated fuel
dispensing system?
• Control of Fuel Usage. Municipal fleets often have
different persons driving different vehicles, and
various fueling sites, all of which makes keeping
track of fuel a problem. Some municipalities have
reported that 5-12% of their fuel cannot be accounted
for . This may be due to pilferage or poor record
keeping , but in either case, with the current cost of
fuel, it is not acceptable. Even the simplest type
of automated fuel dispensing system will provide
accountability. Some systems can also perform
various inventory recording functions of fuel
deliveries. After experiencing a high level of
unaccounted for fuel, Mobile, Alabama installed a
system and realized a savings of $107, 000 in lowered
fuel corisu;nption after one year.
• Elimination of Manual System Flaws. Keeping fuel
records manually is better than keeping no records at
all. But there are a .lot of problems with a r,,anual
system. The vehicle operators may forget to fill out
the forms, or when in a hurry they may skip it
altogether . The reports are often illegible or
dirty, making proper record keeping very difficult.
• Elimination of Fueling Attendants. In Lansdale,
Pennsylvania, Assistant Superintendant of the
Municipal Garage, Doug Cleeland reports that the City
is saving $55, 000 per year in pump attendant salaries
after purchasing a system. The New York City Police
Department will reportedly realize a $1 million
annual savings in attendant labor costs from the
system it installed last November . Beware, however ,
of possible political problems regarding the
elimination of your fueling attendants. (IJew York
City, it chould be noted, did not have these
problems) . See page 9 for a further discussion.
• Accounting and Billing Advantages. A system gives
you the data to. bill departments for their precise
amount of fuel use. This will make it possible for
departments to set a fuel budget, which ultimately
will promote conservation. Excess departmental usage
will be able to be discovered and dealt with.
• Support For Vehicle Maintenance. A system can be
® used to support an excellent vehicle preventative
maintenance
3 -
program. Ordinarily, drivers may be lax about bringing in
their vehicles for proper servicing. With an automated ('
1p fuel dispensing system, preventative maintenance
appointments can be scheduled via recorded transaction
(laLa: Lire umuunt of fuel cuEi!;umvd, odometer rc!,,dinys, Of
other significant information. A system can provide data
for a miles per gallon calculation--a very useful
indicatur of when a vehicle needs servicing.
The benefits of acquiring a system can be translated into
direct and indirect dollar savings for your municipality.
But buying a system can be expensive , and it' s crucial
that you do not acquire a sytem that is more sophisticated
and costly than necessary . Pages 7-8 will examine how to
select a system to fit your needs, and page 16 will detail
how to figure a system payback period from anticipated
:avi n9s.
Now do the Various Svstems Work?
The simplest type of automated fuel dispensing system is
the key_or code-lock type, consisting of a pump mounted
console with a recording device. These systems run from
about $1, 000 - $4 , 000 depending how many units per console.
With a key system each driver or vehicle is a�:signed a
specific key which fits one location on the console. To
;activate the pump and totalizers, the driver inserts i.nd
turns the key.
There is one totalizer for each key, and each totalizer
cumulatively records the total amount of fuel delivered to
that key' s driver or vehicle. The totalizers are manually
read, usually every couple of weeks or so. If desired ,
the data may be manually entered into a computer for
further data processing . These systems are most often
found in ;municipalities that operate 50 vehicles or less.
Key systems are extremely reliable, inexLensi_ve, and
practi calls maintenance free. They are al's--o- 1 a mi t gad_ as to
what functions they can perform and data they can provide.
Code systems operate similarly to key systems. The major
difference is that instead of inserting an identification
key►, the driver enters a 6 digit security code on a
wheel. Code system manufacturers are not as common as key
manufacturers.
Microprocessor card systems are more complex. They can
cost anywhere from around $15, 000 for the municipality
with only a couple of fueling locations to over $100 , 000
for one with dozens of locations. The system consists of
a card reader , a central fixed-logic microprocessor ,
encoded plastic cards, and a recording mechanism
terminal. Sometimes telephone lines.' are used to hook up
remote sites..

Two Card System Readers
5 -
The reader is a box mounted outdoors at the pump island f
Aft whose function is to generate data in a computer readable
form. Depending on the type of cards used, the reader
will be either a static optical card reader (for
hole-punch cards) or magnetic card reader (for magnetic
stripe cards) . The reader is hooked up to the ventral
processing point.
That point is a microprocessor. Microprocessors are
fixed-logic, solid state units that control the system' s
operation and store all the transactions in a core
memory. The unit may be located in a terminal outside
with the card reader, or in a completely separate
location. The unit is hooked up to a terminal to provide
print-outs of the data on some form--hard copy, punched
paper , magnetic tape , or other recording media.
Cards measure 2" x 3" and are usually encoded either by
hole punches or by a magnetic stripe (like a 24 hour hank
teller card) . Depending on the system one card (vehicle
or driver) or two cards (vehicle and driver) are necessary
to operate the system. See page 16 for a further
discussion of cards.
To operate the system, the driver inserts his or her
card (s) into the card reader , and chooses a pump number ,
and in some. systems, dials in the vehicle odometer reading
and/or a security code number. If the driver ' s card and
input are judged valid, the correct pump is turned on, and
the driver fuels the vehicle in the normal manner . Some
systems will not allow the driver to fuel until the card
is removed from reader ; this helps prevent lost cards.
When the fueling operation is completed, the system
records various data about that transaction. This data
may include employee and/or vehicle T .D. , type of fuel and
quantity issued, date, time, odometer reading, m.p.g.
since last transaction, and other information depending on
the sophisitication of the system. Print-out of the data
may be accomplished at each fueling location or at a
central location.
M
Computer controlled systems operate under the direct
control of a central minicomputer , and with the associated
hard and software can easily run into hundreds of
thousands of dollars for multi-site applications. Remote
sites are hooked together via communication lines. These
systems can issue a variety of reports and perform such
sophisticated tasks as automatic billing, fuel inventory.
status reports and more.
The connection between sites and the central r_omnuter is
established by the use of modems and telephone lines. A
6 -
modem is a device that accepts data in the form of a
digital signal and transforms the data into a form more
suitable for transmission over the communication lines.
Another modem on the other end of the line restores the
data to its original form. If. the telephone lines are
dedicated, they are leased from the telephone company for
a monthly fee= if they are dial-up, the regular telephone
lines are used.
Determining Your Equipment Needs.
What kind of system is right for your municipality? What
problems can your system solve?
Before the problems can be solved, they must be defined.
To discover them, a study of your current fueling
situation should be undertaken. This study will tell you
1) how much fuel, if any, is unaccounted for , 2) wha__our
current operating costs are , and 3) what kind of
system--key or_ code, microproce!•.sor , or computer--should
be, considered for _�uisition.
The worksheet on page 26 (figure 1) can be used for
conducting such a study . The work-sheet is reprinted
courtesy of Public Technology, Inc. , a non-profit public
interest organization that provides technical and
manageiiient assistance to local governments. The wor ksll,c e:t
AVA appears in P.T. I ' s publication, Automated Fuel Disp(� cj
sin
for State and Local Governments, prepared in 1977 under a
grant from The National Science Foundation, Division of
Intergovernmental Science. For the publication or more
information, contact Richard Zelinski, Energy Program
Manager, P.T. I . , 1301 Pennsylvania Ave. , Washington, D.C. ,
(202) 626-2400.
Item 1 of the worksheet will tell you how much fuel is
unaccounted for . Item 2 will tell you your costs of
attendant labor, item 3 data handling labor costs, and
item 4 your current operating costs. A final step in your
study should be whether your vehicles are obtaining proper
preventative maintenance servicing.
Once the study is completed, you will see where your
problems are, and from this information you can match up
the system to fit your needs.
If your study shows System or systems that
thatyouu need to: will best suit that r,(_,ed:

If your study shows that you can get by with a simple
key-lock system, fine. Its operation does not need as much
detailed explanation as the microprocessor and computer
systems. A few of the following sections of the report
will cover issues that deal mostly with the more
sophisticated systems.
It is not within the scope of this report to examine in
detail the operations of microprocessors and computers.
For further information in this area, PIN recommends
contacting Datapro Research Corporation, 1805 Underwood
Blvd. , Delran, New Jersey, 08075, (609) 746-0100.
Final Planni
After you have determined what kind of system will hest
fit the needs of your municipality, you should establish
someone as a Project leader to deal with the vendors.
This person could be internal or external, but it must be
someone. This position is important because acquiring an
automated fuel dispensing system might involve dealing
with various sources--computer vendors, telephone company,
etc. The project leader ' s job is to to make sure nobody
steps on anyone else ' s toes, and that the plans run
smoothly. This person should also try to arrange a visit
to nearby municipalities that have systems similar to
ti,c>se being considered. If your municipality has decided
to acquire a system that will be producing lots of
reports, the project leader should also make sure that
your operations will be able to efficiently handle and
utilize the data. For the computer controlled systems,
this could mean extensive employee training .
Another point to be considered is renting or leasing a
system. This is an option made available from most
vendors, but it is not a very common practice. Because of
continuing technological improvements, however, a rent or
lease plan may not necessarily be a bad way to go. In the
long run, however , its much more expensive than an
outright purchase, and is best suited for the municipality
that is badly strapped for cash.
