Micro Metalsmiths Makes Fuel Cap For Spyker Micro Metalsmiths has developed and manufactured a specialist fuel cap for Dutch luxury car manufacturer, Spyker. The fuel cap, which features Spyker's company emblem, took less than eight weeks to deliver and will feature on all production cars. Micro Metalsmiths had to quickly re-engineer the production tool, which was completed in only two weeks. This needed to be more economical and less complex to machine, while providing an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

A Jiskoot Jetmix and Viscosity Trim fuel-oil blender system installed at a fishing port in Namibia has delivered savings and a competitive advantage by reducing blended product costs. The fuel-oil blender has an integrated control system and a performance guarantee giving +/-1 per cent viscosity of the target recipe. This skid-mounted system, supplied by the Cameron Jiskoot Quality Systems business unit, was designed to blend in-line heavy fuel oil with gas oil to produce 10m3/h of 70cSt fuel oil that can be pumped directly to the waiting ships at the jetty. It will also provide a representative Marpol-compliant sample as the blend progresses, as well as a representative sample of the incoming feedstocks. The system blends the two feedstocks to ensure a fully homogenous result with guaranteed accuracy and repeatability of viscosity measurement to ensure that it does not exceed the maximum design viscosity at the reference temperature.
