INTRODUCTION

• Most fuel stations today are equipped with pumps that indicate the amount
filled in the customers vehicle but it doesn’t shows the exact reading.
• Most vehicles in Pakistan are equipped with an analog meter, so you don't
know the exact fuel
• Petrol storage tanks and the petroleum industry have a real problem of
monitoring the exact level of fuel in different tanks.
• This project primarily aims to create a digital display that shows the exact
amount of fuel.
 5
INTRODUCTION TO FUEL MONITORING SYSTEM

• A fuel gauge is a device used to indicate the fuel level in a tank.

• The system consists of two critical circuits used to measure and display fuel level.
• The fuel gauge system displays the fuel level by measuring the amount of current flowing
through the sensor package.
• The main focus of this project is to monitoring the exact level of fuel vehicles.
 6
FUEL MONITORING SYSTEM

• A Fuel Monitoring System is the technology designed to track real time fuel
level, consumption, refilling to optimize fuel efficiency, prevent drainage and
fraudulent activities.
• The fuel level sensor can be used with any type of fluid and automatically
determines the level by measuring the mass of the fluid via a smart fuel level
sensor and displaying the output on the screen in liters or milliliters
 7
EXISTING FUEL GAUGE TECHNIQUES

• The most common and traditional fuel gauge system in use today uses a float
type resistive sensor to measure the fuel level in a tank.

• Display unit show the driver the measured fuel level.

• Another technology is known as the Intelligent Fuel Gauge System.

OBJECTIVES

• This research aims to assist general public from getting

scammed.
• To develop a system that can determine accurate level of
fluids in vehicles tanks and storages.
• To analyze and improve the mechanical, physical and
software based properties of this system.
• This systems should be cost efficient and this technology
can help us reduce petrol station scams and frauds.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

o Most fuel stations today are committing scams and frauds that leads
to profit of petrol pump owner and losses of consumer.
 11
PROBLEM STATEMENT

o This is due to the fuel level sensors in cars and fuel level sensors in pump.
o Modern vehicles use analog display systems that are built into most vehicles.
o This is because the display of the vehicle fuel gauge system is analog (dot, points or
digital). This inaccurate display leads to fraud.

PROPOSED SOLUTION

• The proposed system works with ultrasonic sensor which can measure fuel from
various dimension fuel tanks.
• The proposed system uses an ultrasonic sensor that can measure the fuel quantity
in fuel tanks of various sizes.
• The following system is used to prevent fraud at petrol stations.
• When the agent starts pouring fuel into the vehicle's tank, the flow sensor
activates and generates a series of pulses proportional to the instantaneous fuel
consumption. The flow sensor sends data to the microcontroller.
• The proposed system uses an ultrasonic sensor that can measure the fuel quantity
in fuel tanks of various sizes.

METHODOLOGY

• To design this project, we need some components like LCD, Arduino

Microcontroller, Flow sensor, Bluetooth module.
• First of all we take 16x2 lcd we attached this lcd to the Arduino microcontroller.
• Then we will attached the lcd with Arduino microcontroller with the help of
jumper wires then we will attached Bluetooth to the microcontroller Tx, Rx
pins.
• After that we will attached flow sensor to the Arduino microcontroller we will
program the Arduino with the help of Arduino software we take Information
from flow sensor and display on LCD.

INSPECTED RESULTS

• This device will show the actual amount of fuel on the LCD screen in liters L or
milliliters ml.
• If level of fuel is less than the expected level the buzzer will buzz and it will
inform us that this is time to refill the petrol tank of your vehicle and the vehicle
user will be safe from the petrol station fraud and scam.
