The f-POD must be fully emptied before transportation. Please study the Transport instructions carefully. The f-POD must be regularly inspected for any leaks. EEC will not be responsible for any damage or considered pollution from any leakage. If an operator comes into bodily contact with any fuel they should rinse thoroughly with water and seek immediate medical attention.
Do not use around other systems that emit RF in the range of 10^4Hz to 3x10^11Hz Do not use near sources of ionizing radiation. The old parts and the f-POD itself, should be returned to EEC Performance Systems for correct and safe disposal at the end of its serviceable life.
Max Power: 180W Suitable Fuels: Petrol up to 15% alcohol blends (E15), Diesel up to 20% bio-diesel blends (B20), and Kerosene. For other application contact EEC Performance Systems for advice. 0 – 40 degree C Ambient Temperature: Maximum Use Per Day:...

Hoses and connectors must be regularly inspected for cuts, damage and leakage. Grounding Cable Fuel & Vent Hose Always connect the Grounding Lead to the chassis of the car or fuel container BEFORE connecting the hoses! When the machine is idle, curl and return hoses into the rear cupboard. REMOVE HOSES CONNECTED TO A VEHICLE OR FUEL CAN IMMEDIATELY AFTER FUEL TRANSFER AS AUTO-SIPHONING WILL OCCUR! To switch the f-POD on (Internal Battery)
To switch the f-POD on (External Battery) If the f-POD has insufficient charge left in the internal battery, a slave battery can be connected via the red ‘Anderson’ type connector on the top left hand side of the Control Panel. ANDERSON CONNECTOR FOR EXTERNAL BATTERY Plug a suitable 12Vdc battery into the external battery socket.
Operation At switch on, the red LED indicator screen will briefly show some numbers as the f-POD initiates itself then will display the weight of the contents in the internal fuel tank. Connect the Grounding Cable and the Vent and Fuel Hoses to the Fuel Drum Adaptor. Press the RED PUMP Button and hold until the required amount is transferred into the f-POD.

Car Pump – Pump Out (Optional) As an option, for cars with fuel tanks that do not have the ability for the fuel to be drawn out directly from the tank with the f-POD’s pump. This option includes a dedicated dry break connection located inside the f-POD hose compartment which passes through a solenoid valve to the top of the bowser fuel tank.
E-Stop Switch Operation There is a red E-Stop or Emergency Stop button located on the far right hand side of the Control Panel. If you have a need to stop the pumping procedure urgently, releasing either of the PUMP Buttons will stop the process. If for any reason the f-POD ECO fails to stop then push the red E-Stop button.
The battery must be charged regularly between use and overnight after use. The f-POD internal battery must only be charged with the EEC supplied & approved battery charger. The battery charging circuit or procedure must not be modified in any way! Never power the battery charger from a generator.
Transportation & Storage The f-POD must always be emptied and switched off before transportation or storage and must never be used to transport or store fuel. There is a knob located under the bowser designed to limit the movement of the loadcell during transportation.
