Abstract

One of the most important parts of running a heavy equipment firm is the high cost of fuel. Businesses that operate heavy machinery suffer losses as a result of the existence of individuals who commit fraud by providing false information regarding the fuel volume. The purpose of this study is to develop a device that can measure the amount of fuel added to a tank so that the company owner may obtain the information instantly. This device uses a variety of simple components, including an ESP32 microcontroller and a flow meter sensor. Information on fuel quantity is available online and on SD Cards. By using this technology, the corporation may reduce losses brought on by people who modify fuel volume.
