Design and implementation of load cell based fuel level measurement

Abstract

With the increase of vehicle usage over the world, fuel necessary has become a tremendous problem. Design and implementation of load cell based fuel measurement measures the accurate level of fuel adding while fuel filling process. There is a large variety of methods for measuring fuel level, ranging from those using mechanical floats and capacitive and optical sensors to ultrasound methods. Nowadays all fuel bunks having types of digital displays unit in order to display the value of fuel adding to the vehicle. But we don't know whether they adding accurate value or not. By fixing the load cell below the fuel tank, at any point of time it will continuously measures the level of fuel with the help of processor and displays the value in the display unit fixed on the dash board. Speedometer which is configured with the processor, this will continuously monitor the current speed of vehicle and the calculation of mileage which signify the residual kilometer of vehicle will pass through, depending upon my current speed. This helps the user can easily identifies the remaining kilometer to run and be aware of fuel usage by engine. At the same time this helps the owner or user came to know about what amount of fuel will adding suppose if drivers are able to cheat. Hence, the measured values are send to the owner mobile through GSM in order to avoid the unprincipled method and be aware of the fuel consumption through SMS services.
