    • A pulser is the hardware needed in order to translate the gallons/liters off of the Meter or Dispenser. This is a required part of the FuelCloud system, but is not furnished by FuelCloud.

  • How does Warranty and hardware replacement work? 
    • FuelCloud has a standard 1 year parts only warranty. Our warranty does not cover any labor incurred when replacing hardware. If your system is outside of the warranty period you can purchase replacement parts. For more information on replacement lead times and costs please email support@fuelcloud.com
  • Why is my system not counting gallons in the app? 
    • If your FuelCloud system is not counting the gallons being dispensed. This generally points to an issue with the Pulser or Pulse Terminals on your FuelCloud hardware. Pulsers do have a tendency to fail every few years. This of course depends on the installation and use of the system. FuelCloud has an alert option if the system starts recording too many 0 gallon transactions. You can manage this alert in the Settings-My Account section of the website. This alert will let administrators know when more than 5 zero gallon transactions have occurred at your fueling location. For more information on pulser troubleshooting follow this guide
  • What does the status light on the CloudBox indicate? 
    • The status light is an indicator of the CloudBox and SD card health. If the system is registered and working the status light should be bright Green. If the Status light is Red or Flashing Red this usually indicates a critical error and the circuit board may need to be replaced. For more information on the Status lights refer to CloudBox installation guide
