The standard Viton seals are suitable for the majority of fuels including bio-diesel. Fort Vale also offer other seal options, one of which was chosen for it's suitability for use with automotive fuels oxygenated with MEOH, ETOH, MTBE etc. This seal type overcomes the seal deterioration problem often associated with fuels containing Ethanol. Many customers handling E5 have found that this seal offers excellent performance, so much so, they have been retro-fitting the seals to the previous model.
New for 2008 is the manual version of the Safeload coupler which utilizes the same unique trigger configuration and beneficial features. The double seal arrangement helps to prevent dirt from entering the seal pocket. The tapered lead-in and design of the coupler gives it a smooth action that makes it very easy to connect. The manual Safeload coupler is the ideal solution for skid manufacturers and depots needing a budget solution to bottom loading.
