PETROL FLOW MEASURING DEVICE

Abstract

Petrol pump frauds were very common in now days. Many of the petrol pumps today than temper the pumps such that it displays the amount as entered, but in actual, the quantity of fuel filled in the consumers 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. Most of the two wheelers vehicle in India has analog meters for the measurement of fuel level which is not much exact, so it is not possible to measure exact amount of fuel inlet. In this modern a progressive world, products are being digitized owing to its benefits, user friendliness. So, we are developing a project name “ Petrol flow indicator ”. It consists of creating a digital display for the exact volume of   the fuel contained in the fuel tank. the above developed fact is considered in the project and it is found out an effective solution for indicating the exact inlet of the fuel in the tank digitally. A sensor and a microcontroller are used to find out the fuel inlet which is less costly and also exact. This paper is concentrating on the study of various fuel measuring sensors suitable for our developed project. Some problems with respect to the existing fuel measurement techniques are recognized and hence a better sensing technology has been developed.
