pays off
in being able to access the latest ad-
vances once they have been through the
developmental stage in the international
arena. This means that the adoption of
new trends is far easier and efficient.
However, Yorke is quick to point out
that not all global technology is ap-
plicable to the African market. “Harsh
operating conditions and remote loca-
tions add to the challenges in Africa and
fuel contamination is a major problem,
whether it is dirt and water in the filling
station tanks or buying blended diesel
at the roadside because it is cheaper,”
he explains
Reef Fuel Injection Services offers a
full diagnosis and fault analysis service
to help customers get to grips with these
operating conditions. Yorke points out
that while older fuel systems could toler-
ate a certain level of fuel contamination,
the newer systems comprise advanced
electronics and are much more suscep-
tible to fuel contamination.
The company has invested in the lat-
est diagnostic equipment and its team
has the necessary technical skill to assist
customers. It offers Bosch, Delphi and
Denso approved fuel injection services
and is acknowledged as a specialist in
CAT fuel systems.
Looking at growth opportunities,
Yorke says that both companies are well
placed to service customer across Africa.
“Africa is a growth area for us and we
have the necessary infrastructure and
skills in place to service multi-national
companies that operate in the region,”
Yorke concludes.
