Underwriters Laboratories Approves Gasboy Atlas Dispensers for Ethanol

GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Underwriters Laboratories approved three models of Gasboy Atlas dispensers for use with fuel containing up to 85 percent ethanol, said manufacturer Gilbarco Veeder-Root.

The Gasboy Atlas E85 dispensers are compatible with existing fleet management systems, said the company. They are also compatible with Island Fleet Card Readers, such as the Gasboy Islander PLUS and CFN III systems. All Atlas electronic fleet dispenser models are designed for commercial fleet fueling applications.

"We understand the tough demands of unattended fueling at the fleet fueling site," said Sanjay Chowbey, vice president of Gilbarco Veeder-Root's Commercial Business Unit. "We build the industry's most reliable, rugged dispensers so fleet operators have the lowest possible cost of ownership for the long term. These dispensers may also qualify for various tax and grant incentive programs around the country designed to build infrastructure for flexible fuel vehicles."

The Gasboy Atlas E85 dispensers are also NTEP certified, along with Gilbarco Veeder-Root's 22 Encore S and Encore 300 retail dispenser configurations that are also approved for use with fuels that contain up to 85 percent ethanol, said the company.

Gilbarco Veeder-Root will exhibit its Gasboy products next month at the NAFA Fleet Management Association Institute and Expo in Charlotte, N.C. from April 9-12.
