Oil pump/hose heads

[tomdruz]

I'm looking to purchase auto dispensing/measuring oil hose heads. Any recommendations? Good/bad luck with any particular products? Thanks.

Dont know of any particular brand, but I know a few years back I just was asking around & started price shopping oil suppliers, & the company I buy my bulk oil caught wind of it some how, & just to keep my business, they installed a complete new system for me for FREE, all the heads, & the dispensers, etc....just giving you something to check into.

We purchased the AccuGuard system, which is manufactured by Alemite (www.alemite.com). A new system costs us $42,000, which the oil company gave us a 0% loan on. Its paid off by each gallong of oil we purchase, and price is rolled into our cost of oil. I can give you more details if you need them.

Honestly, it was the best thing we ever did. Our oil inventory sales have doubled, inventory is easier to control and pretty much idiot proof.

A previous dealership I was with went with another system, which was wireless. I believe it was manufactured by Grayco. The problem with this system is that the batteries only laster 24 hours, and we had a wall full of charges that we had to constantly swap out on the "guns".
