ASR flagship models PTS 916/1600 oil-free, diesel-driven air compressors, powered by the Cummins QSX15 503kW engine, are used outside in dirty environments. They frequently experienced contaminated diesel fuel, leading to expensive equipment failures, increased maintenance call-out visits and equipment downtime.

The installation of FuelActive ended a run of fuel-related breakdowns for Atlas Copco. Maintenance costs on the machines were reduced due to fewer breakdowns. The need to retain a breakdown engineer on standby was negated. Fewer filters were needing to be replaced due to the better quality fuel being delivered to the injectors.
