A fuel island pump system that has served vehicles in all Miami County government departments for more than two decades will soon be replaced with a modern system.
Miami County commissioners at their meeting Wednesday, Oct. 24, approved purchasing a fuel pump system for $32,311.35 from Holidale of Shawnee. The cost includes a SynTech Fuelmaster 2500 system with data logger, modem, NIC card, software, hose controller switch, Gasboy pumps and other hardware, plus installation. Road and Bridge Director J.R. McMahon told commissioners the county’s current fuel system is about 23 years old and in need of an upgrade. The purchase will come out of the county’s fuel fund, he said.
McMahon told commissioners the system is not used just by Road and Bridge and Public Works departments.
“Everybody in Miami County (departments) uses it,” McMahon said.
