Kingspan Titan, the leading manufacturer of rotationally moulded plastic storage solutions in the UK and Ireland, has launched its latest secure fuel storage and dispensing model – the FuelMaster+.

This new range of tanks come supplied as standard with the Watchman Anywhere – a remote oil level monitoring device that not only measures fuel levels but also allows access to this information on the move – offering users the peace of mind that they need never run out of stored fuel again.

The addition of the Watchman Anywhere enables FuelMaster+ users to view their fuel tank level on any web enabled device, by text and by email and most conveniently of all on a Free iPhone or Android App.

The first 12 months of level delivery service is included in the price of the tank and with a simple online registration procedure via www.watchmananywhere.com users can set up when and how they wish to receive their information. After the first year, this service is subject to an annual subscription (simply renewed online).

It means that, in the face of rising fuel prices, farmers and businesses who store and dispenses fuel on their premises, can rest assured that they have full visibility of their fuel tank levels and can therefore take better control of their stocks and deliveries.

With the Watchman Anywhere functionality users can also remotely access multiple tanks from their mobile or by logging in online

In common with the previous FuelMaster range, the new tanks are manufactured to a very high-spec and meet all UK regulatory standards for on-site fuel storage. Made from tough rotationally-moulded plastic, the tanks are bunded and come with a Spillstop device to prevent overfilling and spills.

Other features include 10 micron particle and water filter standard on all models, as well as a pump which dispenses at 56 litres per minute as standard. Reversible doors are available on selected models and there is a light inside the hood to help farmers fill up their vehicles in the dark.

The FuelMaster+ is suitable for Agricultural Fuel oil (Class A2) and Gas/Oil/Diesel (Class D) and is available in eight models to meet most application requirements.

To find out more about the full FuelMaster range (tank sizes 1,225 to 10,000 litres) go to www.kingspanenviro.com, or call 042 696 0022

Sean O’Rourke, Nicky Byrne and Sunday Game Among RTÉ Highlights at The National Ploughing Championships 2014

The 83rd National Ploughing Championships takes place from 23rd – 25th September in Ratheniska, Stradbally, Co. Laois, and RTÉ will be in the thick of the action, in association with Aldi, bringing visitors and audiences at home a packed schedule of programming and activity (www.rte.ie/ploughing<http://www.rte.ie/ploughing>).
Over 200,000 visitors will have the chance to Explore RTÉ, with live radio and television broadcasts, musical performances and exclusive events with RTÉ presenters. Visitors can enjoy new interactive experiences with RTÉ Player and the RTÉ Guide, and enjoy storytelling with RTÉjr.
Says Noel Curran, Director-General, RTÉ: “The National Ploughing Championships has rightly earned its place as one of the best national outdoor events in Europe each year. RTÉ will be at the heart of the action in terms of broadcast output right across the three days. The RTÉ set on-site also always proves to be a hugely popular hub for visitors of all ages to sample a flavour of the full range of RTÉ activities and services.”
On RTÉ One, the Six-One News will be co-presented live from the site by Bryan Dobson on Tuesday and Sharon Ní Bheoláin on Thursday, while RTÉ’s Agricultural and Environmental Correspondent George Lee will be reporting live each day. Morning Edition, Nuacht RTÉ and News2day will also feature a series of news reports from the event and RTÉ Nationwide will devote a full programme to the best of the Ploughing 2014 on Wednesday 24th
On Tuesday 23rd, RTÉ Radio 1’s Morning Ireland will broadcast live from the RTÉ set. Sean O’Rourke will present the Today programme at 10am with guests and live music. Later that afternoon, RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta is guaranteed to lift the roof with a very special trad session live on Cóisir Cheoil.
On Wednesday 24th Marty Whelan gets a lie-in and is live from the event at the later time of 10am on RTÉ lyric fm, with music from Connor and The Crooks. Rick O’Shea will be soaking up the atmosphere that afternoon from 2pm – 4.30pm, live on RTÉ 2fm.
Making their first trip to the Ploughing, Nicky Byrne and Jenny Greene will don their wellies to present The Nicky Byrne Show on RTÉ 2fm at 11am on Thursday 25th.  Following this, Ploughing favourite Joe Duffy and the Liveline ‘Funny Thursday’ crew will provide more than a few laughs, live on RTÉ Radio 1.
In addition to the on-air content, you may need to bag your seat early for one of the exclusive events in the RTÉ set. Having packed out the marquee last year, RTÉ Two’s The Sunday Game panellists return to the Ploughing with Michael Lyster, Michael Duignan and Kevin McStay discussing all the recent GAA action and the forthcoming All-Ireland Hurling replay.  Sports fans will also get a sneak peek of a brand-new sports quiz, presented by Jacqui Hurley, and there is also the chance to meet and hear from Nationwide’s Anne Cassin and Mary Kennedy in a chat with Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh.
Depending on what corner of the RTÉ set you find yourself in there will be range of daily activities for visitors of all ages. At the Weather Studio, visitors have the chance to watch the live weather bulletins or if you fancy yourself as a budding presenter, you can try your hand. Think you know your TV trivia? RTÉ Player will be putting visitors to the test with their new interactive quiz game. You can also get on the cover of your very own RTÉ Guide. After all of that, you can rest those weary feet in the RTÉjr zone and enjoy children’s storytelling with presenters Emma O’Driscoll and Muireann Ní Chíobháin.
