Fuel level sensor for vehicles, trucks and tanks

Quick answer

A fuel level sensor sits inside the tank and measures how much fuel is in it, all the time. Connected to a GPS tracker, it sends that level to software, so you can see fuelling, consumption and sudden drops that point to fuel theft. Satcop's fuel level sensor works on vehicle tanks and fixed installations such as gensets and static tanks, and pairs with Satcop's tracking and fuel monitoring software.

What the Satcop fuel level sensor does

As described on the Satcop website:

• Precision level: accurate fuel level for vehicle tanks and fixed installations.
• Theft detection: detects fuelling volume and fuel theft from the tank.
• Remote monitoring: remote tank monitoring and consumption determination.
• Flexible outputs: analog, frequency and serial digital output options.
• Thermal compensation: supports thermal compensation and self-diagnostics.
• Fleet software: pairs with Satcop's tracking and fuel monitoring software.

Why fuel level sensors matter for fleets

Fuel is one of the biggest running costs of a vehicle fleet, and it is also the hardest to check by hand. A dashboard gauge is rough, fuel slips are easy to dispute, and a few litres taken here and there rarely show up until the monthly bill. A sensor in the tank changes that. Each fill shows as a rise in the level and each drain as a fall, with the time and place from the GPS tracker. When a drop happens while the vehicle is parked, the software can flag it.

Over time, the same data shows consumption by vehicle and route, which helps you spot vehicles that use more fuel than they should.

Fuel sensor for trucks, gensets and static tanks

• Trucks and goods vehicles: see fuel along the route next to the truck's location. Pair it with a GPS tracker for trucks.
• Gensets: monitor the tank remotely, without a site visit to check the level.
• Static tanks: watch stored fuel at a depot or site, and see fuelling and drains.

How it works

• Install in the tank. The sensor is fitted for continuous level measurement.
• Connect the tracker. Its analog, frequency or digital output goes into the GPS device. The Satcop fleet tracking device is ready for fuel sensors.
• Monitor remotely. Live level and theft alerts appear in the fuel monitoring software.

What to ask before you buy a fuel sensor

• Which tank shapes and fuels will it be fitted to?
• How is it connected to the GPS tracker?
• How does the software show fuelling and a possible theft?
• Who installs and calibrates it?
• What does the written quote list: sensor, tracker, software, installation and GST?

Frequently asked questions

How does a fuel level sensor detect fuel theft?

It measures the level in the tank continuously. A sudden drop that is not explained by driving shows up in the software, with the time and the vehicle's location, so you can check it.

Can I use a fuel sensor in a truck?

Yes. The Satcop fuel sensor is made for vehicle tanks, including trucks, and connects to the GPS tracker so you see fuel along the route.

Does it work on gensets and static tanks?

Yes. The Satcop website says it monitors gensets and static tanks remotely, as well as vehicle tanks.

Do I need a GPS tracker with the fuel sensor?

For vehicles, yes. The sensor's output goes into the GPS device, which sends the level to the software.

What is the difference between the wired and wireless fuel sensors?

The wired sensor connects to the tracker by cable. The wireless fuel level sensor links over Bluetooth and installs without complex wiring.

How much does a fuel level sensor cost?

Ask for a quote. The price depends on the number of tanks, the tracker, installation and the software.
