Fuel monitoring in tanker trucks
using the DUT-E 2Bio fuel level sensors
PartnerPartner: Starcom Systems, Israel
TaskTask: fuel level measurement in cisterns of truck tankers
VehiclesVehicles: MAN, MB, FAW truck tankers
SolutionSolution: DUT-E 2Bio differential fuel level sensors
Result: 60% costs reduction for cargo transportation insurance
A company from North Africa, which refines crude oil to petroleum products, and delivers products to fuel stations and fuel storage units of road builder has a fleet of tanker trucks, that contains 1000 MAN, Mercedes-Benz and FAW cars. In the same compartment of tanker truck’s cistern, different fuel types can be transported depending on the day: diesel, gasoline, kerosene.
The main goal of the project – to exclude illegal fuel draining and replacement of fuel with cheaper liquids in a cistern. To make it real DUT-E 2Bio fuel sensors were installed in compartments of each cistern of truck tankers. Differential fuel level sensors with third measuring electrode detect fuel types by predefined pattern, measure fuel level and volume in each compartment of cistern, and send alarms on fuel drain/change. Adjustment of DUT-E 2Bio probe length took a few minutes during the installation of sensors. All devices together with Helios Advance tracker are united in a single network with power supply and configuration of hardware from one point.
Impressive results were achieved: cargo transportation insurance decreased by 60%, fuel drain volume declined by more than 2 times, and also illegal fuel change was excluded.
