Wireless Digital Fuel Level Indicator

Abstract

In days gone by the petrol level measurement is done by analog meters. It consists of determining the quantity of petrol in the tank at different levels but not accurately. This paper is aimed to design a system to monitor and display the petrol level by using Ultra sonic sensor and a controller. Two different tanks shapes Square, Cylindrical are chosen for the design and measurement purpose. The controller performs the specified task, i.e., displaying the petrol level and the distance vehicle can travel. Vehicles like motorcycles, cars, buses and trucks and equipment such as compressors, generators needs a means of refueling so that it can run to the destination as efficiently as possible. If the equipment is built in with the digital petrol indicator to know how much fuel is left over to reach the destination, and also to know how much fuel to be stored for the safe and secure journey.
