Fuel Level Sensor
Tank‑level monitoring to prevent fuel theft and track refills.

Overview
SGT Fuel Level Sensor is an ultrasonic or capacitive tank-level sensor with anti-siphon analytics — continuous fuel level, refill / theft / low-level events, reconciliation reports, and a dispatch dashboard. Installs on diesel tanks of trucks, buses, generators and bulk storage.
Built for fleet owners and contractors who suspect (or know) fuel is being siphoned, mis-filled or misreported. The system typically pays for itself in 6-12 weeks by exposing theft, blocking false refill claims, and giving accountants a clean variance number.
- Continuous level — ultrasonic ±1% accuracy, 10-30 s sampling
- Theft detection — AI correlates level drops with GPS + ignition state
- Refill validation — flags claimed refills that don’t match tank-level rise
- Reconciliation reports — weekly PDF with issued vs consumed vs variance
How It Works
- Sense — an ultrasonic sensor mounted on top of the tank measures liquid surface distance; a capacitive variant is available for irregular tanks.
- Stream — level + temperature samples flow to the GPS tracker (paired) or directly over LTE-M to the cloud.
- Detect — edge rules flag (a) refills > 5% in 60 s, (b) drops > 3% with engine OFF (siphon), (c) low-fuel warnings, (d) economy drift.
- Report — events appear in real time; weekly reconciliation PDF shows issued vs consumed with cost-per-litre impact.
Features
- Multi-tank support — diesel, petrol, AdBlue, lube oil; mixed fuels per vehicle
- Anti-siphon AI — GPS + ignition + level fusion; < 4% false positives
- Refill validation — auto-matches refill events to fuel-card transactions
- Low-fuel alerts — configurable threshold, dispatch + driver app
- Driver scorecard fuel — L/100 km per driver and per route
- Reconciliation PDF — weekly / monthly, signed and time-stamped
- Pair with tracker — works with our GPS Fleet Tracker out of the box
- Open API — REST + webhook to ERP, fuel-card portal, accounting
Use Cases
- Long-haul trucking — biggest siphon target; per-trip variance reporting
- Bus & coach fleets — fixed routes, predictable economy, easy variance detection
- Generator monitoring — site-yard gensets often filled by contractors; tank-level audit
- Construction equipment — bulldozers and excavators in remote sites
- Bulk fuel storage — depot tanks with multiple draw events per day
- School / corporate transport — third-party drivers, expense control
