Implementation of the Anti Pilferage and Anti Leakage system for Fuel Tankers

Abstract

Pilferage and adulteration of products on fuel tankers starts from terminals to retail outlets that create a major problem in petroleum product handling. The tankers provided with fuel filling and drain valves monitored online and an electric lock system which could be opened only with the consent of the owner can be a solution to prevent the pilferage. The driver’s mobile phone can be linked with the wifi module in the hardware setup so that the driver’s proximity with the tanker can be known. The Hardware setup comprises of Node MCU, an electric lock system, flow meter on outlet pipes and fuel Sensor. The electric lock can be opened by the consent of the owner and the level sensor is used to identify the leakage of the fuel. An additional mobile app can be provided for the driver for emergency situations such as fire hazard and from the owner’s end, tracking the driver’s location and providing consent can be done.
