Electric fueling system

Snyder Equipment Company's Snyder IV Diesel Locomotive Electric Fueling System offers an array of features to improve the fueling process: from a positive shut-off with an electronic RF signal that does not require a second connection, to an 1820-DSE Electronic Fuel Nozzle with dual-functioning automatic shut-off capabilities that can be used with all existing Snyder II system-equipped locomotives. According to the manufacturer, the Snyder IV system increases flow rate and eliminates trigger blockage. Additionally, Snyder's 1825-DSE Locomotive Fuel Kit prevents fuel overflow on curves or uneven service tracks, prevents fuel from being forced out when the atmospheric tank vent is plugged, eliminates fuel leaks while fueling, and provides a dry-break when disconnecting the nozzle.
