At the International BoatBuilders' Exhibition and Conference (IBEX) the Arthur Edison LLC device known as the CLiX received the coveted Innovation Award.

This award is only given to those few innovations which bring new technologies to the boating industry, and that will make a difference not only for the boating industry itself but also to individual boaters and our environment.

In the words of the IBEX Judge Pim Van Hemmen: "It's always fun to see someone cook up a really clever, simple, inexpensive solution to a problem that has vexed boaters ever since the onboard fuel tank was invented. The CLiX fuel spill prevention product is simply brilliant and revolutionary".

The days of cumbersome and messy boat fueling are officially over. We are thrilled to introduce the CLiX, a revolutionary product that is set to transform the way people fuel their boats. This innovative product is not just a game-changer in terms of convenience; it's also a win for people's boats and the environment.

Effortless Fueling Experience

The CLiX is designed with simplicity in mind. It allows you to refuel a boat with ease and precision. It takes the stress and mess out of boat fueling by keeping the fuel in the tank, not on the boat or in the water.

The custom-made material even has an additive to reduce the risk of sparking when fueling, because safety is always a priority. And it's biodegradable so it does not harm our environment after its useful life is over.

A Bit of History

When we first decided we wanted to create a product to make fueling easier we were told many things; They've been trying for over 50 years and it can't be done; You'll never get it to work; There are too many types of boat intakes (there are three), It will be too complicated and cumbersome. Basically, telling us it's impossible. All that meant to us was it would be that much more satisfying when we did it.

Designed by Experts

The brainchild of the experts at Arthur Edison, the CLiX was born out of necessity and to prove the skeptics wrong! As avid boaters who fuel our boats often, we experienced first-hand the inefficiencies of traditional fueling methods.

Our passion for boating led to the creation of the CLiX fueling system that meets the needs of boaters everywhere.

Ready for Adventure

Whether heading to the lake, the ocean, or the river, the CLiX is the perfect companion. Its lightweight design makes it easy to transport, and its patent-pending technology ensures a fast and safe refueling process. With CLiX, you spend less time fueling and more time enjoying your adventures.

Made in the USA

The CLiX is made in the USA. From the material it's made of to even the packaging it ships in, it's all done right here in the USA.

Join the Revolution

The CLiX is more than just a product; it's a movement towards smarter, cleaner, and more efficient boating. When someone uses the CLiX, they're not only making marine gas and diesel fueling easier, they're also contributing to the preservation of our waters and marine life. It's time for us to elevate our boating experience with CLiX. Make the switch today and be part of the future of marine fueling.
