Smart Fuel Cap
ICap 1000 from Fueloyal is smart cap that will 100% eliminate the misuse of fuel, by both drivers and thieves. This simple economical system maintains complete fuel management control. What’s the benefit of this system? It greatly reduces fuel costs, and will eliminate the dreaded 5 mpg consumption rates. The Smart Fuel Cap does this by ensuring the fuel purchased actually went into the tank. It can then measure the amount added with the fuel bill card. It is a standalone system that requires no modifications to the tank or the connection to the truck cab.
