Abstract

The objective of this project is to develop a more accurate way to measure the level in the fuel tank at petrol station and to improve the distance measuring technique to be easier and saving time. The level should be displayed for the petrol station so that the staff will be aware if the fuel level is too low. PING Ultrasonic distance sensor is a hardware component that will measure the amount of fuel in a tank. This device is separates into the two kinds, the transmitter and the receiver. This PING Ultrasonic distance sensor detects a reflected wave from the object after sending out an ultrasonic pulse. This about that can be measured by standing just at one place which means no need to measure for along the distance. By measuring the time which returns after emitting a sound wave, a distance to the object is measured. This project gives the improvement on reading technique compare by measure the distance manually. Basically, this project is separate into three main parts. The first one is to finds and designing the hardware that required and related to the project, the second part is to construct and develop the hardware together with testing and troubleshooting. Then the third is designing and develop the software part and combine together with the entire of hardware component developed. The micro controller, P8X32A-Q44 is use as interfacing to the output display. The fuel level estimated with a Kalman Filter method that uses fuel consumption and level measurement results in good performance. A more stable level estimate is achieved and a negative elevation of the estimate most of the time, as a result of fuel use. A more stable level estimate is achieved and negative elevations of the estimate most of the time. With this device it believes gives the improvement on reading technique. It also can reduce employee's health hazard and global warming effect caused by the emission of hazardous and dangerous gases from oil tank during dipping process.
