Methven Seed Cleaning is a well-known local business in the Mid-Canterbury area, providing reliable seed cleaning services to farmers who depend on consistent quality and efficiency. The business is owned and operated by Craig, who runs a busy operation that relies heavily on having machinery fuelled and ready to go. With work that often runs to tight timeframes, Craig needed a fuel setup he could trust. When his old tank started creating more problems than solutions, he knew it was time for an upgrade.
Before the upgrade, Craig and his team were using a small steel tank that didn’t have a spill tray. It wasn’t very convenient and didn’t meet modern standards. The tank ran out of fuel often, and the battery-powered pump was unreliable, meaning they frequently had to manually pump fuel just to keep machinery running. It was a setup that created extra work and stress in an already busy environment.
Craig already knew a bit about Fuelchief because his neighbor works for the company. After chatting with them and hearing more about the tanks, he decided to take a closer look. That personal connection gave him confidence to explore the Sebco range, which quickly stood out as the right fit for his operation.
Craig went with the Sebco 2300, a tank that is big enough for his needs. It is easy to use, safe, and reliable, and it fits perfectly into the daily operations at Methven Seed Cleaning.
Since installing the new tank, the benefits have been clear:
They no longer run out of fuel unexpectedly.
The long battery cables make it easy to refuel forklifts even when the batteries and the tank are on opposite sides.
They don’t have to constantly check fuel levels anymore.
The tank has also brought wider advantages. Delivery costs are lower, it meets WorkSafe standards, and it is much safer and easier to use. The team has noticed the improvement straight away, with one simple piece of feedback: it is a lot better than the old steel tank.
When asked what he would tell another farmer or property owner about Fuelchief tanks, Craig’s answer was straightforward:“Buy one.”
The Sebco 2300 has made refuelling simpler, safer, and more reliable. It has given Craig and his team peace of mind and more time to focus on the work that matters most.
