When the power remains off during the aftermath following a storm, the interruption causes many issues. Of all the problems, the inability to pump fuel through traditional electrically operated fuel pumps is one of the most critical -- for fuel is needed to do everything from getting supplies delivered to clearing debris. The patented Storm Fuel Guardian is a specially designed fuel pump that addresses this specific problem.
The Storm Fuel Guardian is a manually operated fuel pump that can be used to obtain gasoline or diesel fuel even when the electricity is out. Drivers operate the pump as they would any other pump, except they turn a crank on the front face to manually bring up the required fuel. Because of the pump's high-flow design, manually cranking even a tank full of fuel is doable.
Far from a retro gimmick, this manual fuel pump has multiple practical applications in today's modern world. Whenever the electricity goes out, most modern fuel pumps become inoperable. This leaves drivers without gasoline to get where they're going, and it can have more serious consequences.
Following a storm, fuel is needed for more than to just get to a destination. Emergency vehicles need fuel to respond to calls for help, and construction vehicles need fuel to clear roadways and other debris-ridden areas. In some situations, this type of fuel pump may even be used to power essential generators or power equipment that's used for clearing areas.
Because of the multiple applications, there are several potential markets for the Storm Fuel Guardian. Gas stations and truck stops are the most obvious places that may want to install this type of pump, but municipalities and contractors that have their own fuel stations could also use a pump like this.
Demand could be strong throughout hurricane-prone regions, like the Southeast United States, that regularly see prolonged periods without electricity after a hurricane or tropical storm comes through. Demand isn't limited to only this region, though. This is a product with potential international appeal, and need for it could grow in many regions as major natural disasters become increasingly common. Whenever there's no electricity and debris needs to be cleared, this has the potential to be the go-to way for people to get fuel.
