ONLINE MONITORING OF PETROLEUM FUEL PARAMETERS IN STORAGE TANK USING MICROCONTROLLER

Abstract

This research paper discusses a web based monitoring system that enables effective monitoring of fuel level and percentage of adulteration in underground storage tank in a retail filling station. It enables effective monitoring of fuel filling stations output and sales volume under the domain of a single company/organization. This paper proposed a methodology to determine oil quality in real time with embedded and portable oil assessment device operated by mechanic provides the operational flexibility and rapid means of screening fuel quality that is key to establishing a program to provide real time condition based monitoring products. An improved method based on single chip, which realized the on line signal gathering and data processing to monitor fuel level, temp and viscosity in Underground Storage Tank. The configuration of the sensors chosen are given, which were finalized after many time tests and error analysis.
