Fuel Quantity and Quality Detection in Automobiles Using IoT

The bike-mounted fuel management system represents an innovative solution to combat fraud at petrol stations while providing bike owners with a transparent and reliable means of monitoring fuel transactions. Fuel fraud, a pervasive issue in the industry, often involves inaccurate fuel quantity dispensing or compromised fuel quality. This research paper introduces a novel system that addresses these challenges by integrating real-time fuel quantity measurement and fuel quality assessment within the petrol tank of motorcycles. The proposed system leverages advanced strain gauge technology to continuously monitor the quantity of fuel dispensed into the bike's tank, enabling riders to verify the accuracy of fuel deliveries. Simultaneously, it assesses fuel quality, detecting contaminants or anomalies that could compromise engine performance. These capabilities are combined with a user-friendly interface that displays real-time data, alerts users to discrepancies, and logs transaction history for review. To ensure safety within the petrol tank environment, the paper outlines comprehensive safety measures, including using intrinsically safe components, explosion-proof enclosures, and robust grounding techniques to prevent sparks or electrical hazards. The discussion section evaluates the system's effectiveness in preventing fraud and enhancing user trust, making it a valuable addition to the fuel management landscape. This research project introduces an innovative solution for bike owners and contributes to the broader field of fuel management and fraud prevention. With its potential to increase transparency and protect consumers, the bike-mounted fuel management system represents a promising step toward a fairer and more secure fueling experience at petrol stations.
