INTRODUCTION
We are already aware that motor vehicles display the amount of fuel in the fuel
tank by means of some indication like bars running through the E (empty) and
F(full) indicators. The manufacturer provides the specification that each bar
maps to the corresponding litres of fuel approximately. To the contrary every
one of us might have experienced the problem with improper estimations of the
current fuel level in the tank with the existing bars representation system.
Today in this digitalized world ,if the fuel indicator in the automobiles is also
made digital it will help to know the exact amount of fuel available in the tank.
The above furnished fact is considered in our project.
OBJECTIVE
• Creating an Digital Fuel Indicator, to measure the exact amount of fuel in
the tank and display it.
• Monitoring of fuel theft and leakage ,and to bring it to the notice of the
owner.
• Developing an Android Application using which we can unlock or lock
the car doors.

application and brief introduction about all components are given below with a

DESCRIPTION
In our project we have implemented Digital Fuel Indicator which shows exact
amount of fuel in the tank. The DC motor starts running which indicates
that vehicle is in ON state, whenever some quantity of fuel is added
,the amount of fuel and the cost for that will be sent through an SMS to
the owner using the GSM. Meanwhile the total amount of fuel ,quantity of fuel
added and the cost of the fuel added will be displayed on the LCD. Whenever
the vehicle is not running i.e, DC motor is in OFF state. If there is sudden drop
in the fuel level from the last noted level, it means fuel theft or fuel leakage has
been detected. Then the theft SMS will be sent to the owner of the vehicle
through GSM. Meanwhile a voice alert telling that fuel theft has
occurred will be sent and also buzzer beep will be heard. Another feature of our
project is, if the car keys are lost or left inside the car and if the central locking
system is activated, then car doors will be closed automatically. We
cannot open the doors without the spare keys, so we have come up
with the solution for this by using Android Application. By using the lock
button in the Android Application we can lock the door, similarly we can
unlock the doors by unlock button.
RESULT AND CONCLUSION
Thus we have arrived at the concept of Digital Fuel Indicator and Central
locking control using Android Application in the vehicles. Even though the unit
installation and implementation is costly, the accuracy and security achieved
makes the system useful. Hence the system could be implemented in vehicles to
measure the fuel in the tank accurately and detect the fuel theft. Implementation
and use of Android application to control the locking and unlocking of car
doors will have great benefits in the vehicles.
FUTURE SCOPE
As the fuel monitoring system is applicable for single vehicle if the
owner is having multiple vehicles like a travels company with many vehicles
mobile won’t be sufficient to track .So many vehicles so this can be extended to
tracking system where all the vehicles fuel data can be directed to a
database were each vehicle can be tracked easily by the owner.
There is a scope for developing low cost sensors and implementing data
acquisition system for storing the data of fuel fillings per month or per week if
it cannot be monitored continuously.
