When fuel dispensers can’t stand up to the demands of daily use, the entire operation pays the price.
Harsh operating conditions, constant use, and environmental exposure can all take a toll on equipment. In many cases, when dispensers fail, the result isn’t just a repair bill — it’s lost revenue, operational headaches, and dissatisfied end-users.
The AtlasX Fuel Dispenser Dependability Advantage
The AtlasX next-generation commercial and retail fueling dispensers from Gasboy set a new benchmark for long-lasting performance.
Here are 4 common durability challenges that AtlasX dispensers solve:
Challenge 1: Exterior Damage and Corrosion Shorten Dispenser Life
From truck bumpers to wind-driven rain, dispensers are under constant attack. Over time, painted surfaces can chip, metal can rust, and weakened panels can compromise both aesthetics and function. In high-traffic or coastal locations, that damage happens faster — leading to rising maintenance costs and a reduced lifespan.
AtlasX Solution: The AtlasX features a rugged enclosure built with market-tested painted steel and stainless-steel panel options. These materials are proven to resist wear, corrosion, and impact over the long term, even in harsh climates and around-the-clock operations. That means less frequent panel replacement, fewer service visits, and a professional, high-performance appearance that stands up over time.
Challenge 2: Electronic Failures Cause Costly Downtime
Electronics are the brain of dispensers and often the first thing to fail. Several circumstances, such as inconsistent power supply, heat cycles, condensation, and airborne contaminants, can degrade these sensitive electronic components. When a board goes out, it takes the whole dispenser offline — leaving fleets and retailers scrambling for repairs and facing lost fueling time.
AtlasX Solution: AtlasX is equipped with global electronics, a proven platform designed to operate reliably across a wide range of environmental and electrical conditions. The electronics are tested in demanding real-world scenarios to ensure they keep working where others don’t, providing lower risk of unexpected failures, fewer emergency service calls, and better long-term performance.
The use of global electronics also enhances service quality through the Gilbarco service channel. Technicians are specifically trained on these electronics, ensuring expert support and efficient troubleshooting. Additionally, a substantial local inventory of spare parts is maintained, enabling faster repairs and minimizing downtime for customers.
Challenge 3: Fuel Leaks Jeopardize Safety, Performance, and the Environment
Even the tiniest leak can create a major problem. Over time, worn or poorly sealed components can allow fuel to escape from the dispenser. These leaks can disrupt fuel pressure, reduce system performance, damage sensitive electronics, pose fire risks, and contaminate the environment.
AtlasX Solution: AtlasX is equipped with seals and gaskets that withstand the extreme pressure, heat, and chemical exposure of daily fueling operations, helping protect against fuel leaks and vapor loss. As a result, AtlasX dispensers maintain safe operating conditions, protect electrical components, and preserve system performance. Fleets and retailers also reduce the risk of environmental spills and avoid burdensome cleanup and fines.
Challenge 4: Frame Misalignment Leads to Structural Weakness
Dispenser frames that shift, warp, or lose alignment over time create more than cosmetic issues. Left unchecked, distorted frames can interfere with door closures, create stress on internal connections, and lead to a cycle of ongoing repair needs, ultimately compromising equipment reliability and even operational safety.
AtlasX Solution: AtlasX dispensers are assembled using a precise structural frame process that ensures tight tolerances and a rigid, square frame assembly. This design prevents twisting and misalignment over time, even in high-volume or rugged applications. Installations are easier, maintenance is reduced, and structural issues are minimized — delivering consistent dispenser integrity year after year.
