Hydrau- Flo® valve history
1997 identified need from Multiflo customers - pressurising fuel tanks leading to tank rupture.
1999 HF product commercialisation
2001 product migration to mobile assets
Today, HF is installed on 10,000’s of machines around the world, in industries such as Mining, Rail, Oil & Gas, Transport & Marine.
Hydrau- Flo® is a reliable and efficient way to avoid blowing up your fuel tank!

Hydrau- Flo® valve history
Primarily used with viscosities of 1 +/- 10% diesel, water, coolant etc
Has been recently used with oils 15W-90W
Is described as an overfill protection system
It removes the operator from determining fuel level in the tank during
refuelling
6Weir Minerals Multiflo
The Hydrau-Flo® fuel filling valve system:
Allows for safe, ground level refueling
Prevents overfilling, fuel spillage and waste
Is industries best practice in refuelling
Reduces fuel theft
Removes the risk of tank rupture due to pressure build up during and after filling
Minimises the risk of fire as a result of fuel spillage
Is accompanied by a comprehensive 36month warranty
Significantly improves safety and environmental outcomes
Greatly improves fuel filling times
Provides instantaneous shut off when full

Refuelling landscape
Industry transitioned from splash filling to fast filling in circa 1980’s.
Fast filling provided better asset utilisation and dry break couplings reduced fuel spillage.
‘Wiggins’ pressurised refuelling became industry standard.

Refuelling landscape
Pressurised fast filling delivered improved refuelling rates and auto shut off fuel guns.
Pressurised fast filling introduced serious new risks- Fuel tanks are now pressurised to 13psi
(possibly as much as 85psi)
Operator can override fuel gun to top off the tank- inducing a fuel spill
9Weir Minerals Multiflo
Hydrau-Flo® Valve systems- mechanical and non-pressurised.
