About the FT4000

The FT4000 provides controlled onsite fuel dispensing for commercial fleets and transport operations. Installed at the fuelling location, it connects fuel pumps, vehicles, and drivers through a single access and monitoring point.

Fuel is dispensed only after authorised identification, ensuring every transaction is recorded accurately. Transaction data is then transferred into Fueltek’s browser-based fuel management platform, allowing operators to monitor fuel activity across one or multiple sites from any internet-connected location.

Designed for daily operational use, the system supports structured fuel control, usage visibility, and site accountability.

How the System Works

The FT4000 is built around a Fuel Access Control Terminal positioned at the point of dispense.

Drivers or authorised users identify themselves before fuel is released. During fuelling, operational data can be entered directly into the terminal, including:

• Odometer readings
• Driver ID
• Vehicle or fleet numbers 
• Job or route references

This process links fuel usage to vehicles, drivers, and tasks, creating a complete audit trail for each transaction.

Key Operational Features

The FT4000 supports up to four pumps operating simultaneously, making it suitable for busy depots and fleet yards.

A heavy-duty integrated keypad enables data capture at the point of fuelling. Configuration formats can be adapted to site requirements, including alphanumeric, numeric or structured entry fields.

The terminal also includes a backlit quarter VGA graphics display, providing clear fuelling prompts and transaction guidance in both daylight and low-light conditions.

Transaction data is stored locally within non-volatile memory, protecting records during power interruption.

System storage includes:

• Minimum 2,000 transactions between downloads
• Expandable memory capacity
• Fleet and vehicle lookup tables

Driver or vehicle messages can also be issued via the system and displayed when access devices are next used.

Access Control and Security 

Fuel dispensing is controlled through secure identification devices. Available access formats include:

• Datatag
• Datadisk
• Datacard
• Magnetic stripe cards

Datatag is the most widely deployed method, offering encrypted authentication with long operational lifespan and no moving parts. Access permissions and device data are managed remotely through the fuel management platform, with updates applied at the next terminal interaction.

Reporting and Data Visibility 

Fuel transaction data transfers from the terminal into the central reporting system, providing full operational oversight.

Operators can:

• Review fuelling history 
• Generate usage reports 
• Export transaction data 
• Print operational summaries

The visibility supports fuel reconciliation, driver monitoring, and fleet efficiency tracking across single or multi-site operations.

Communication and Connectivity 

The FT4000 supports multiple communication methods, allowing integration with existing site infrastructure. 

Connectivity options include: 

• GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) modern communication 
• LAN or WAN network connection 
• Wi-Fi or Bluetooth 
• RS232/RS485 cable links

GPRS remains a common deployment method, allowing secure wireless data transfer where fixed networks are unavailable.

Integrated Pump Specification – FT4000AP

The FT4000AP integrated pump operates on a 230-volt single-phase power supply and is available in multiple flow rate configurations:

• 50 litres per minute
• 70 litres per minute
• 90 litres per minute

Standard specification includes a 3.6 metre steel braided hose and automatic shut-off nozzle, with extended hose options available.

Fuel measurement is maintained through a four-piston displacement meter calibrated to forecourt accuracy standards, delivering a ± 0.5% tolerance.

• The pumping unit uses a belt driven design with integrated air separation to maintain dispensing consistency.
• The motor is rated at 230 volt single phase, 10 amp.
• The meter is a four piston displacement type calibrated for forecourt accuracy across dispensing speeds.
• The cabinet includes a lockable stainless steel front door for equipment protection.
• The electronic LCD graphics display is backlit and shows delivery volumes up to 9,999.9 litres.
• Integrated totalisers record cumulative fuel volumes up to 9,999,999 litres for both period and lifetime totals.
• Standard equipment includes an automatic cut off nozzle and 3.6 metre steel braided hose.

Construction and Installation

The FT4000 cabinet is manufactured from stainless steel for durability in demanding environments.

Designed for continuous outdoor operation, the unit resists weather exposure, operational wear, and site-impact.

Installation formats include pedestal-mounted or wall-mounted configurations, allowing alignment with fuelling lane layouts and available space.

System Configurations 

The FT4000 range includes multiple configurations, including integrated pump and pump control models, enabling sites to align fuel dispensing infrastructure with access control and monitoring requirements.

Operational Summary

The FT4000 combines pump control, secure access, and fuel monitoring within a single onsite system.

It delivers controlled dispensing, structured data capture and remote reporting visibility, supporting fleet operators seeking accountability, accuracy and scalable fuel management.Speak with Fueltek to discuss FT4000 configuration options suited to your fleet size, side layout and reporting requirements.
