Fuel Hook

Hardware solution to prevent fuel siphoning.

The problem Fuel Hook solves

• Fuel Hook is a comprehensive Vehicle Monitoring System with IOT based accurate fuel measurement techniques. In most vehicle operations fuel expenses account for the most promising opportunities in terms of revenue generation thereby increasing the price of fuels which consequently encourage fuel theft. By expanding visibility into the hydrocarbon supply chain and targeting digital consumers through new forms of connected marketing, fuel monitoring and management is the logical place to start in order to reach fuel efficiency In order to achieve it and simultaneously reduce fuel theft we have implemented a vehicle monitoring system. This is realized using Digital Fuel Flow and Level sensors which aim at providing the customer with accurate data of the fuel amount that is filled in the tank. In order to curb the issue of fuel theft, we have used an open source IoT platform, to notify the owner about the siphoning taking place. We intend to keep an account of this data in form of digital files and update the user through an application on his/her mobile device. Hence, in this manner the user can have an easy access to monitoring. One of the main key features of our system is that in case of no internet connection on the user’s mobile device, offline data will be stored and can be accessed once the device has a stable internet connection.

Challenges we ran into

Scrutinize that in transportation & in industries there is lack of utilization of data & monitoring of fuel.
Improper measurement & adulteration.
Siphoning, embezzling, fraud, pilferage.
Degradation in engine’s or machine’s life.
There is no real time data or tracking.
Massive monetary losses.
