Train Refueling Applications

EMCO Wheaton’s G1600 automatic train refueling system is recognised as a leading product on the market and is used extensively across the world, including the US, Canada and Brazil.

Our products are recognised as ideal solutions for speeding up processing times, delivering consistent fuel levels and keeping the cost of platform operations to a minimum. This success is down to our pedigree in the market and a history that stretches back to 1958, when EMCO Wheaton designed and developed the first automatic diesel fueling system for the rail industry. 

Since then, EMCO Wheaton has worked closely with rail personnel to refine products that match the increasing demands found across the international rail market.

  • The G1600 series is our flagship product for train refueling processes, consisting of the G1630 nozzle and G1620 adaptor.
  • The PosiLock Blue is also used for diesel locomotives – a DEF system that eliminates the risk of contamination when dispensing DEF/AdBlue.

As with all EMCO Wheaton products, our engineers can make design changes to suit your needs, this is particularly important in the rail market, where regulations are subject to change in different parts of the world. For more information on our train refueling products, click the links below.

Success Story

Each applications comes with its own specific requirements and because we are aware of that, we are able to provide truly tailored solutions, Emco Wheaton, incorporating TODO, does not simply offer 'one-size-fits-all' solutions.

An example of a bespoke rail solutions is the innovative DRY-BREAK products created following a need identified by the Turkish Rail Authority which was looking for a way to reduce the theft of fuel from its fleet.

Emco Wheaton engineers responded to the challenge with an innovative anti-theft solution. The TODO-MATIC adaptor, which is mounted on the rail car, incorporates a switch that senses a magnet mounted on both the coupler and the adaptor cap. This connection generates an 'on/off' signal which alerts the locomotive driver if a coupler or cap is disconnected from an adaptor without authority or at the wrong time. The coupler, cap and adaptor are designed as such that when correctly joined the magnet and switch will align.

Turkish Rail Authority saw the value of this solution and as a result, 1,500 2" units were supplied to the authority.

The TODO-MATIC has been used with a number of applications for many years with its performance being constantly assessed to ensure it is fit for purpose. This evolution of the products is an example of its versatility and the ability of Emco Wheaton engineers to find solutions for the issues our clients face.
