1. PROJECT OVERVIEW
• The Department of Roads and Transport in
Limpopo had a challenge of Diesel supply for
graders which were stationed in communities.
• These graders were meant for blading of roads
within the communities. The process of
supplying diesel was not cost effective in
terms of running costs ( amounting to +- R2m)
and delayed processes of delivering.
3
Project overview cont.
Limpopo Province is mostly rural. The Provincial
Roads Infrastructure is about 70% gravel roads
and almost 30% tarred roads and therefore
graders used to travel long distances, i.e +- 60km
single trip from their stations to site whereas the
required norm is less than 35km.
• The long travelling of graders to sites causes
delay in the normal blading and re-gravelling of
roads and causes transmission failure and engine
overheating which ultimately causes high
expenditure on maintenance and repair costs. 4
Project overview cont.
The challenge of fuel contamination and spillage was then
experienced when using Used Oil Drums when supplying diesel
to graders.
The Department also had an alternative of purchasing Diesel
Tanker Trucks that have to travel to fill up graders at different
sites which was too costly in terms of purchase and running
costs estimated at R2,4m per truck and some graders could not
be utilized for the whole day because it takes time to drive
around filling up diesel.
Each truck was also estimated at 15 000 km p/m which will
result in quick deterioration and shorter life span.

2. THE INNOVATION
• Our Mechanical Services Division conducted
a research and designed specification for a
better alternative that could be cost
economic to the Department and improve
production.
• We designed a specification for the
manufacturing of the HEAVY DUTY PLASTIC
TANK.
• We procured HEAVY DUTY PLASTIC TANK,
12 volt battery operated pump and flow meter
with filter.
6
THE INNOVATION
• We used recycled material (angle iron
bar & square tubing) to built frames to
secure the tank and pump system.
• Other materials used are nipples,
sockets, elbows, hose clamps, sealants,
suction hoses, pump kit and workshop
equipment & consumables
7
THE INNOVATION
• We designed the Tank which would be compatible to the
LDV and submit such to JoJo Tankers company to
manufacture.
• The HEAVY DUTY PLASTIC TANKS were fitted into
eight LDVs with a diesel pump and a meter gauge which
led to reduction of running costs and elimination of diesel
spillage. One LDV carrying 600 litres of diesel was able
to service three graders at once.
• The project was done In-house from the start up to its
finality.

HEAVY DUTY PLASTIC TANK FITTED

9
THE INNOVATION
• To overcome the challenge of fuel
contamination and spillage that was
experienced when using Used Oil Drums
to supply diesel.
• Quicker response to refuel graders on site
by using LDVs instead of trucks.(trucks’
running costs are higher than those of
LDVs).
10
THE INNOVATION
Protection of Environmental Hazards
• Prevention of soil, water and air pollution
by reducing oil and fuel spillages.(In terms
of Waste Management Act )
• Low risk of fire.
• We used recycled material to build frames
i.e flat iron bars, angle iron and square
tubing. (In terms of Green Economy &
Climate Change)

Transport Infrastructure to maintain the
roads

PROJECT SUSTAINABILITY
(continue)
• Continuous maintenance of the tanks by
mechanical services as the initiators for
sustainability.
• To put a stop valve between the tank and
pump in case the pump malfunctions.
• Conduct continuous innovative research
on the improvement of the project.
• To put warning stickers on all Tanks.
17
PROJECT SUSTAINABILITY
(continue
• To install strap belts to secure the Tank to
the LDV.
• To install TRACKER for Driver safety,
Diesel and Vehicle theft.
• Compile Instruction Manual to be userfriendly for all users and project the
Departmental Image.
18
4. PROJECT REPLICABILITY
• The project has been shared with other
Districts within the Province and is being
implemented.
• The project was shared through a
presentation with KZN Dept. of Transport
at Durban Region (Cost Center Metro)
• The project is shared with relevant sister
Departments and Municipalities.

BENEFITS OF PROJECT
PREVIOUS
CURRENT
Hand pump refill 10 litres per minute
Battery Operated pump refills 40 litres
per minute (Use Grader/LDV battery)
Operated by 2 people to refill
Operated by 1 person to refill
Operator gets tired of rotating the
pump and must rest the arm regularly
which may result to sickness in the
long run.
Pump with flow meter and filler nozzle
i.e. moved from heavy duty to light
duty
Three Used Oil Drums of 210 litres
each
One 600 litres Plastic Tank
Failure to reach the set targets.
Improved production on blading more
than 80%
Service delivery complaints on blading
due to repetitive breakdowns.
Improved service delivery due to
increased availability of machinery
High risk of environmental hazards
caused by diesel spillages
Protection of environmental hazards
20
COST SAVINGS AND BENEFITS OF
PROJECT (continue)
PREVIOUS
CURRENT
High repair & replacement costs for
filters, pumps caused by fuel
contamination.
Less repair costs as the Plastic Tanker
does not rust
Purchasing of Diesel Tanker is
estimated at +- R2m.
Purchasing of LDVs and including
project is estimated at +- R170 000.00.
In case of Diesel Tanker Truck
breakdown, service delivery is
hampered until the Truck is repaired.
In the event of the LDV breakdown, a
tanker can be transferred to another
LDV for continuous service delivery.
Some graders could not be utilized for
the whole day because it takes time to
drive around filling up diesel.
Quick response to refill graders
In case of Grader breakdown on site,
diesel was prone to theft.
Diesel can now be transferred from
the grader to the JoJo Tank and visa
versa.
21
COST SAVINGS AND BENEFITS OF
PROJECT(continue)
• Cost incurred for this innovative alternative
is approximately half the cost on Used Oil
Drums and Diesel Tanker Truck.
• There is less fuel starvation as a result of
using clean diesel, saving on replacing or
repairing fuel filters & fuel pumps, less
downtime and improved production.
22
COST SAVINGS AND BENEFITS OF
PROJECT (continue)
• Reduced trips from maintenance centres
to site as the fuel capacity inside the tank
(600 litres) can fill up to three Graders at
once.
