local_gas_station vehicles, storage tanks and your own fuel station

Fuel control in vehicles and at your own fuel station

Refuels and drains from the fuel level sensor with volume, time and place, consumption against the norm and a cross-check with the flow meter. At your own fuel station the pump runs only for an allowed card, and you see who is fuelling, how much has been dispensed and what is left in each tank.

Fuel in vehicle tanks

Trucks, tractors, combines and generators: every tank with its own sensor.

01 local_gas_station

Refuels with a place

Every refuel with volume, time and place: the name of your geofence, the nearest fuel station or the address. The alert reports the same volume as the chart and the report.

02 warning

Drains

A level drop that engine work does not explain is marked as a drain. The volume threshold, speed and allowed hourly consumption are set per vehicle.

03 stacked_line_chart

Several tanks

Each level sensor is analysed separately: main and extra tank, main engine and generator. The report has a section for every tank.

04 speed

Consumption and flow meters

Actual consumption per 100 km against the vehicle norm. The flow meter and the CAN fuel counter are compared with the level sensor, with the difference in litres and percent.

the fuel station section: dispensing now, day totals, tank and log

sensorsLive dispensing

Who is fuelling, with which card and how many litres have been dispensed so far. Day totals: dispensed and received.

receipt_longOperations log

Every dispense, intake and stocktake with the balance after it. The server detects intakes from the level sensor, staff can enter or correct them by hand, and every edit stays in the change history.

propane_tankTanks with or without a sensor

A tank with a level sensor shows the balance from the sensor, plus temperature, water and density readings when those sensors are fitted. A tank without a sensor keeps its balance from the stocktake, intakes and pump meter dispenses.

scaleLitres or kilograms

Intake by delivery note in kilograms, dipstick reading via the tank calibration table, control measurement against the level sensor. Volume is corrected to 15 °C using density and temperature.

lock_openThe card opens the pump

The pump runs only for a card allowed to fuel at this station and switches off as soon as the card is taken out or the daily limit is used up. It needs a free control output on the tracker and a relay in the pump.

badgeDriver and vehicle cards

Access to each pump, daily limit in litres, expiry date, blocking. A dispense that breaks the rules is flagged in the log and sent as an alert, as is every fuel intake.

local_shippingFuel truck

A mobile tank: intake and dispensing by level, the place of every dispense as an address or geofence name, the recipient by card.

How the system behaves in real work

Fuel sloshes in the tank, engines get switched off, power drops out. Here is how that is handled.

wavesSloshing on the move

An event is confirmed by a calm level before and after, so sloshing on a rough road stays out of refuels and drains, and the volume is taken from the calm level rather than the crest of the wave.

local_parkingSettling after a stop

After a stop the fuel settles and the level shifts slightly. Such settling is not counted as a drain.

power_offPower loss

The day after a power loss starts from its own first point. For accounting, level carry-over can be switched on: the morning balance equals the previous evening's.

cloud_offThe server keeps the limits

The daily norm and the card's access are checked by the server, not by the tracker. One or two seconds pass between the card and the pump, and without a connection the pump will not stop at the norm: the dispense is still counted and arrives once the link is back.

What you need to connect

A tracker with a fuel level sensor on RS-485 or an analogue input, or level and consumption from the CAN bus. For a storage tank, a level gauge with temperature, water and density fits well.

For your own fuel station the device is marked as a fuel station in its profile, and tanks and pump meters are attached to it. Sensors with calibration tables can be transferred from Wialon.

Hauling fuel through Poland

Carrying fuel through Poland requires sending coordinates to SENT-GEO. cloudGPS sends them from the same tracker that watches the fuel. e-TOLL for vehicles over 3.5 t is available there too.

For integrators

The Fuel station section is a separate portal module: you switch it on in the client's card and sell it as your own service. Fuel monitoring in vehicle tanks is part of the platform's standard modules.

Fuel monitoring FAQ

Which trackers and sensors are supported?

Teltonika, Globus, Bitrek, Ruptela and others, 100+ models in total. The level sensor connects to the tracker over RS-485 or to an analogue input, and level and consumption can also come from the CAN bus. Trackers already installed are connected by changing the server address.

How accurately are drains detected?

Accuracy is set by the sensor and its calibration, usually 1-3% of the tank volume. The platform filters out fuel movement while driving and confirms each event by a calm level, and the minimum drain and refuel volume is set per vehicle.

Can a fuel station run without a level sensor in the tank?

Yes. The balance is calculated from the last stocktake, intakes and pump meter dispenses. Stocktakes are done in litres, kilograms or with a dipstick.

How do we keep records in kilograms?

Intakes are entered in kilograms from the delivery note. Density comes from the document, from the tank's density sensor or a typical value for the fuel type. The balance always reconciles in litres, and mass is calculated from density and temperature.

One card for the vehicle and the pump?

Yes. A fuel station card can be taken from the driver's record: the same key identifies the driver in the vehicle and the recipient at the pump.

Can an unauthorised card be stopped from fuelling?

Yes, if the tracker has a free control output wired to the pump. The server switches the pump on only for an allowed card and switches it off as soon as the card is taken out or the daily limit is used up. The decision is made by the server, so a connection is required: without it the pump will not open. Where no free output is available, control with a violation alert remains.

How do we move from another platform?

Trackers are moved to the cloudGPS server by changing the address. From Wialon, units are transferred together with their sensors and calibration.

Who installs the sensors?

Installation and calibration are done by partner integrators in your region or by your own installer.
