Digital Petrol Indicator using Load Cell

The utilization of vehicles is rapidly increasing now a days and it leads to a huge problem of fuel availability. Often humans forgot to check the fuel level before Taking vehicles and it will run out of fuel in half a way. All petrol and diesel filling bikes have analog displays to indicate the amount of fuel added. The users don’t know whether it is showing the accurate value or not. In addition, Petrol pump frauds are very common now days. Many of the petrol pumps today temper the pumps such that it displays the amount as entered, but in actual, the quantity of fuel filled in the consumer’s tank is much lesser than the displayed value. The pumps are cheating for the profit of the petrol pump owner. This results in great profits for the petrol pumps, but at the same time the petrol consumers are being cheated. To overcome this problem, this project suggests a load cell based fuel measurement system which gives almost exact level of fuel while fuel filling process and also in the travelling time. Nonstop monitoring of fuel level is attained by attaching the load cell below the fuel tank with the use of Arduino Uno and display unit fixed with dash board. The measured fuel levels can be sent through GSM module to the owners of the hiring vehicles by messages through electronic gadgets for their verification purposes. In today's modern and digital world, if the fuel indicator in the vehicles is made digital, then it will help us to know the almost exact amount of fuel available/filled in the tank. The above fact is considered in our project. The almost exact amount of fuel available in the tank will be displayed digitally by making the use of Load Cell. This project mainly concentrates on the digital indication of fuel in vehicle's tank.
