Fuel Guage System
Project Area of Specialization Computer ScienceProject SummaryToday, in the existing vehicles we face a common problem of fuel meters not showing accurate results. They are unable to show the exact amount of fuel left in the tank, whether they are analog fuel meter or a digital one (bar type digital fuel meter). The above furnished fact is considered in my project and I have found out a proper solution for indicating the exact amount of fuel left in the tank digitally (numerically). Ex 1.8L, 1.5L, 1L, 0.7L
Project ObjectivesThe aim of our project is to monitor the level of the fuel in the vehicle fuel tank and to automatically indicate the level information digitally, numerical value through LCD. We are already aware that modern vehicles display the amount of fuel in the fuel tank by the means of analog indicators, which oscillates between E (empty) and F (full) at its extreme ends or by digital bars running through E (empty) and F (full) indicators
Project Implementation MethodThe petrol tank with float sensor is connected to an analog fuel gauge like every vehicle. The float sensor provides analog value to the A/D convertor which converts analog value to digital value which is further read by the microcontroller (which is flash programmable and erasable ROM). At last, the microcontroller gives the result of the amount of fuel in the tank which is displayed on a LCD screen. The system as a whole is connected to a battery.
- Digital fuel indicator helps to give measure of exact quantity of fuel left in the tank.
- Exterminate petrol theft cases.
- Mileage of the vehicles can also be determined.
