In 2021, Veeder-Root announced the End of Sale for the TLS-350 series consoles in the United States, making December 31st the Last Time Buy Date. This marked a pivotal moment for distributors and customers relying on this trusted technology in the fueling industry.
When announcing the end of sale, Veeder-Root was committed to supporting spare parts for 5 years from the Last Time Buy Date or when parts can no longer be produced due to a lack of component inventory. While that commitment is still ongoing, this situation has not only raised concerns about supply continuity but also potential price escalations for TLS-350 spare parts.
The TLS-350 Automatic Tank Gauge (ATG) has long set the standard for exceptional quality in fuel management systems. Today, the TLS-450PLUS ATG builds on that solid legacy to set a new bar for reliability and convenience.
Challenges with TLS-350 Spare Parts
The shortage in available materials to produce parts for the TLS-350 has the negative effect of creating a secondary market for remanufactured parts from unapproved suppliers. The use of third-party manufactured, rebuilt, or remanufactured components to repair or modify Veeder-Root products voids UL/cUL and other certifications as well as any Veeder-Root warranty.
Why Upgrade to TLS-450PLUS?
Facing these realities, Veeder-Root strongly recommends that all TLS-350 console users explore the benefits of transitioning to the TLS-450PLUS. Here are some ways your fuel site can benefit from upgrading to the TLS-450PLUS:
Remote Connectivity: The TLS-450PLUS provides a wide range of connectivity options for easily accessing and managing critical data, ensuring you always know what is happening with your fueling assets.
Enhanced Security: Greater connectivity needs greater protection and the TLS-450PLUS provides the security needed for today’s connected world.
Lower Cost of Ownership: The TLS-450PLUS console provides an expanded, advanced feature set at a lower price point than the TLS-350 console with an extended warranty on most connected devices.
Expanded Capabilities: The TLS-450PLUS is your platform for the future, continually upgrading and adding incremental features and enhancements, and is expandable as your business grows.
Commitment to Quality and Innovation
Veeder-Root remains committed to delivering superior products that empower businesses to thrive in dynamic environments. This commitment drove the development of the TLS-450PLUS, tailored to meet evolving industry demands and customer expectations.
Partnering for Success
At Northwest Pump, we encourage all current TLS-350 users to explore how upgrading to the TLS-450PLUS can future-proof your operations. Take advantage of available financing options to ease the transition and maximize the benefits of this advanced technology.
We are dedicated to supporting your success with innovative solutions and unwavering support. Embrace the TLS-450PLUS today and ensure your business is primed for future opportunities and challenges.

Aquafighter® is an active tank treatment that removes emulsified water from diesel and biodiesel blended fuel, along with any free water present. Your fuel and tank will be protected from excess water generated over time.
Where and How Water Gets Into Your Tanks
Free and entrained water is generated in your tank through air condensation, fuel supply, ineffective filtration, leaks, accidents, and improper system design. Additionally, when water is allowed to accumulate in your tank it provides the conditions for Microbial Contamination (“diesel bug”) to grow, leading to significant problems including blocked filters, pump damage, engine failures, tank corrosion, and poor fuel efficiency.
Water will likely be present in all diesel fuel systems, including storage and operation. It may exist as free water, visible as a separate layer below the fuel, or as a hazy layer between the water and fuel layers. The layer consists of microscopic droplets of water suspended in the fuel.
Water in Fuel Leads to Microbial Contamination – What Issues Does This Contamination Cause?
Did you know microbiological contamination often creates operational issues that can disrupt the use of an asset? Here are some examples:
Microbial matter builds up in a tank until it renders the tank unusable, requiring cleaning.
Contamination blocks the filters of the generator engine, preventing it from firing up.
A fuel quantity indicator functions incorrectly because of a microbial biofilm coating the probes that read the fuel levels.
How Does Aquafighter work in the fuel tank?
Aquafighter is effective in reducing and removing water inside the fuel tank. This is accomplished through three indispensable actions:
Demulsifies waterby physicochemical adsorption of water molecules to less than 65ppm total fuel water content with maximum efficiency.
Attracts & Captures water immediately upon release from the fuel molecules.
Isolates water in its protective gel to permanently segregate it from the fuel and tank environment so your fuel and tank are protected.
The Benefits:
Prevents diesel bugs from forming.
Works directly in the tank (no fuel removal needed).
Eliminates the need for most additives and minimizes the use of biocides.
Reduces filter replacement by around 60%.
Reduces the need for tank cleaning.
Protects tanks from corrosion.
Exceeds EN590 standards – 100% efficient at reducing water to <75 ppm.
