FUEL MONITORING ON TANKS FOR LEVEL DETECTIONAND PURITY CHECK – A SHORT REVIEW

Abstract

The utilization of vehicles is rapidly increasing now a days and it leads to a huge problem of fuel availability thus giving rise to the petrol pump frauds. The machines at petrol pumps are manipulated in such a way that it shows the amount as entered but the quantity of petrol filled in the customer's tank is lesser than the desired amount. It clearly states that the petrol machines are tempered so that the owner can yield maximum profits. This technique provides huge profits to the owner but at the same time the customers are being cheated. The meters that our vehicles have are analog type and they are not capable of showing the exact value of petrol present in the tank and it is practically not possible for the customer to know the amount of petrol being added. In this project we intend to create a digital display that shows the exact petrol that is being added in the vehicle so that the customer can verify the readings at petrol pumps as well as their tanks. Adding more to this project, it can also calculate the average distance the vehicle can cover in the available amount of fuel.
