How to choose a fuel consumption monitoring system (fuel level sensor)?

1. Pressure Tank Cover

Advantages: Suitable for various construction machinery vehicle fuel tanks, sprinkler tank bodies, no need to measure dimensions, no need to drill holes, can directly replace the fuel tank cap, or add water through the water inlet
Disadvantage: Some fuel tanks are too tightly sealed, and the air pressure inside may change, resulting in changes in the measured data and issues with the adaptation of small truck fuel tanks.
Applicable: Fixed fuel equipment for construction machinery, tank level.
Measurement accuracy: 1mm

2.ultrasonic wave

Advantages: No need to open holes for installation, no need to measure dimensions, default compatible with 0-2 meter high fuel tanks, easy to find.
Disadvantages: 1. Installation requires experience and familiarity with the installation process. 2. The bottom of the fuel tank is easily affected by external environmental factors such as rainwater and ice
Applicable: sanitation vehicles, small trucks, and vehicles of enterprises and institutions.

Measurement accuracy: 1mm

3, Stainless steel oil rod
Advantages: Over ten years of market validation, the solution is stable, relatively accurate, and not prone to problems.
Disadvantage: It requires drilling, and the space above the fuel tank of small vehicles is difficult to install. It requires measuring the height of the fuel tank for customization.
Applicable: Vehicles with space above the fuel tank and all vehicles that can be perforated.
Measurement accuracy: 1mm

4, Sewage pole
Advantages: Suitable for measuring sewage, such as suction trucks, septic tank liquid levels, and liquid turbidity.
Disadvantages: The need for holes requires customization according to size, and the accuracy is slightly lower.
Applicable: suction truck, fecal truck, septic tank, sewer.
Measurement accuracy: 1cm

5, Truncable oil rod
Advantages: It can be cut off freely within a specific size, and can be selected from 0-5V or current, etc.
Disadvantages: 1. Liquids with large media cannot be measured.

                          2. The accuracy of single-stage detection is almost negligible.

                          3. The range that can be truncated is limited. Applicable to domestic and foreign exports, fleets that cannot measure the size of the fuel tank in advance.
Measurement accuracy: 1mm

6, Floating ball pole
Advantages: It is cheap and not affected by changes in medium temperature and other factors that affect the measurement of liquid level height.
Disadvantages: 1. Insufficient accuracy, the float may get stuck in special situations and cannot be removed.

                          2. Customization of dimensions is required. Suitable for simple liquid level measurements such as ship, agricultural machinery, water sprayers, and transportation vehicles for diesel, gasoline, and oil tanks.
Measurement accuracy: 5-35mm

Summary:
1, Measurement accuracy refers to the height error when measuring the liquid level, and the accuracy of the fuel level in the tank also comes from this. It should be noted that the tank is square and irregular. Generally, the error of the fuel level in the tank refers to the error of no more than 3% each time it is filled up, and it is important to remember that the error is when it is filled up.
2, The above comparison is only a personal opinion on our regular products. There are other types of products that can be customized, and it does not represent a review of other brands.
3, OBD is inserted into the diagnostic port to read vehicle fuel injection data, provided that it can match the vehicle model and parse the vehicle data. Most of them cannot monitor fuel leakage data, only the amount of fuel used.
