Flow Meter and Arduino Based Fuel Gauge for Automotive Vehicles

Abstract

Design and implementation of digital fuel gauge which measures the accurate level of fuel adding while fuel filling process. Now-a-days 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. In this paper we have proposed a technique to measure the amount of fuel available in tank during static as well as dynamic condition. This system digitally displays the level of fuel inside the tank by using load sensor, flow meter and vibration sensor and these sensors are interfaced with a development board-arduino. Thus, it is an efficient system to detect the fuel volume in the fuel tank, to get instantaneous reading of fuel volume and to avoid petroleum thefts at the various petrol pumps at the time of filling of tanks.
