TRAX 3™ is a computer-controlled, self-diagnosing auxiliary fuel system that
automatically transfers fuel from the auxiliary tank to the main tank using
our exclusive AutoTrans

®

technology. The TRAX 3™ system also monitors the
vehicle’s fuel system status and the fuel levels of each tank. TRAX 3™ transfers
fuel as needed with an electric fuel pump at a rate of one gallon every three
minutes.

Fuel System Overview

The TRAX 3™ system will transfer fuel at predetermined fuel levels while the
vehicle is in use, based on the individual vehicle fuel system calibration and
size of the Transfer Flow auxiliary fuel tank. The fuel level in the main tank and
auxiliary tank will decrease at similar rates and the LCD will display the fuel
level percentages or gallons in each tank and the operational status of the

system.

When the system is not transferring fuel and all is normal, the System Indicator
(in bottom left corner of LCD), will ash on and o. When the fuel system is
transferring fuel, the message, “PUMP ON” will ash on the right side of the LCD.
If there is an issue with the fuel system, the LCD will display a Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC). The TRAX 3™ computer module works independent of the LCD. If
the LCD is disconnected, the computer module will still monitor and transfer fuel
normally.

Fuel Transfer Operation

When the main and auxiliary fuel tanks are at or near full, the
LCD displays “Full” for both tanks.

During fuel transfers, “PUMP ON” will ash. The system main­tains balanced fuel levels in both tanks until each tank reaches
25%.

When both tanks reach 25%, fuel is transferred to the main
tank, keeping it 25% full until the auxiliary tank is empty.

When either tank falls below 10%, the display will read “LOW”.

When the main tank falls below 85%, the system automatically
transfers fuel from the auxiliary to keep the main tank at 85%
until both tanks are equal.

Note: Once the auxiliary tank reaches its nal 1 gallon of remaining

fuel, the pump will run for 10. min. consecutively. If the power is
disconnected (e.g., the vehicle is shut o) during this period, the 10
min. period will start over when the power is restored.
