2. AIM: To detect the fuel skimming at fuel stations.
OBJECTIVE:
Fuel prices are soaring day by day. Because of this, there is a great
deal of increment in fuel fraud cases. In order to aid people in their
vehicle’s fuel theft detection, this paper examines the ability of the
system to perform a task which detects the fraud at the filling station.
The real-time problem which is now happening in the filling station is
the Fuel Level in the fuel tank.

3. INTRODUCTION

4. Fuel skimming

5. How we are getting cheated by fuel stations ?
• The real-time problem which is now happening in the
filling station is the Fuel skimming .
• Every one knows the necessity of a vehicle In this
modern era
• But for a vehicle to run, fuel is the essential part.
• Our vehicles do have a fuel level sensor but it could
only give us the approximation.
• Knowing this loophole most fuel stations are
cheating the customers by skimming the fuel
reading.
• The police said for every 1000 ml of petrol or
diesel, these fuel stations were dispensing 970 ml
to 950 ml.
• That means we are getting cheated for 30 to 50 ml
for every 1 lit petrol or diesel.

7. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THESE FUEL
LEVEL SENSORS ?
• Every vehicle is designed with the fuel level sensors.
• We often notice these readings in our vehicles.
• The problem with these type of sensors is that , they give us the
approximation of the fuel level.
• We cannot find the exact quantity of the fuel in the tank.
• This has become the loophole for the fuel stations to fool and cheat us. DIGITAL READING
ANALOG READING

8. What is the Solution for this problem ?
• With the help of flow rate sensor we can
sort out this problem.
• This is a device which will show us the
exact quantity of the fuel digitally.
• With this device we will be able to detect
skimming reading of the fuel .
• This device is capable of showing the
quantity in both liters and milli liters.
• We can fix this device to the fuel tank of
the vehicle.
• When ever we fill the tank it will show
clearly that how much fuel is filled .
• We call this device FUEL MONITORING
SYSYTEM.

• PREVAILING TECHNIQUE : The existing system consisting of many flaws that are happening
in fuel locations. Present days there is no proper system to find current fuel in the
container which gives us the exact measure (milliliters) of fuel filled inside the tank at
filling location. At hand no displaying LCD screens to demonstrate fuel level and values of
them. Such failures may be cost effective to user.
• RECOMMENDING TECHNIQUE : In proposed system this paper has revolutionized the area of
fraud detection to an increased level of fuel for monitoring fuel tank using Arduino
compiler and a flow rate sensor is fixed to find out the level of fuel level sensing & also it
gives the present fuel inside tank and fuel filled at that point and total fuel level after
filling in side tank. By this we can control the fraud at filling station.

12. OUTPUT

13.  The current system makes sure that how much amount of fuel
is exactly dispensing to avoid loss of the amount of money.
 This system implementation helps to know the exact amount of
fuel filled in tank, thereby detecting the fraud using the water
flow sensor, Arduino board, and display sensor.
 This system assures the 85% accuracy level of fuel that is
before filling the petrol and after filling the fuel. It also gives us
the variation of initial and final levels.
 This model highly influences the present scenarios and solves
the problem of frauds that are been identified in the gas station.
 This model improved by changing the water flow sensor to a
weight sensor for fuel level monitoring to acquire 99%
accuracy.
conclusion

14. PROJECT DEMO

15. FUTURE SCOPE
 It gives the opportunity to spread the awareness about the
frauds happening at fuel stations.
 It helps people to take note of their fuel expenditure.
 People would able to figure out the efficient ways to maintain
the vehicle.
 We can implement this model for four-wheeler and two wheeler
vehicles which are very helpful to the people.
 We can also develop the mobile app which would be connected
to the fuel tank.
 Which indeed makes the fuel tank much smarter.
 So, it is necessary to implement such designs in order to
continue future needs and problems in earlier stages.
