ABSTRACT

Now-a-days, we know that the fuel is being thieved at petrol stations.[1] Various tricks are used to steal the fuel like a faulty meter, hose pipe longer than required, distracting the customers, etc. Also the fuel density is not correct at the fuel stations. There are chances of unfiltered fuel. People are not aware of this major problem.[2] Due to this, a lot of economy of the customers is being wasted at fuel stations. This fact is considered in this work a proper solution is aimed for indicating the exact availability and density of fuel in the tank.The amount of fuel in the tank is indicated in liters and density of fuel in Kg/L. This work concentrates about the indication of fuel level in two- wheeler tanks.

To overcome the Fuel theft problem, load cell based fuel measurement gives exact level of fuel while Flow sensor measures density of fuel during fuel filling process. Monitoring of fuel level is attained by attaching the load cell below the fuel tank with the use of Arduino Uno and display unit is fixed with dash board.

Keywords: - Load cell, Flow sensor (YF-S201), ATmega328 microcontroller (Arduino Uno R3) etc.
