The safety of vehicles fuel is extremely essential for public so this project came to our notice due to the alarming rate at which vehicles fuel are being stolen in our country. Today’s world need digital techniques for measurement of any quantity conventional fuel meter are Analog so that we trying to make it digitized to show the fuel value digitally. In our project we show the amount of fuel Present in fuel tank digitally i.e. 1 liter, 1.5 liter, 2 liter etc. Also fuel theft is measure problem in all over world. In our project if fuel gets theft then text message will send to owner of bike also buzzer makes noise so that owner of bike get aware. In traditional vehicle system such kind of system not implemented like display fuel availability digitally & fuel Theft of bike can be avoided. The project works in the field of the fuel management system, which handles the theft alert and sensors, logs which determines the live situation of the fuel tank. Keywords: Digital techniques, buzzer, sensors I. INTRODUCTION Now a day’s all world become digital so that we can easily deal with real time system. At same time digital fuel meter which is implemented in recent vehicle system has drawback that is actual fuel present in fuel tank of bike is not shown in term of digits instead shown in terms of bar or deflecting needle. Due to this we did not get idea about actual fuel present in fuel tank of bike it only shows the level of fuel present in fuel tank. Sometimes customer fill fuel from petrol filling pump they filled the petrol in digitally but in our vehicle there is no digital system there is bar or deflection needle system. The figure shows the existing fuel meter in bikes and cars. But it cannot give the accurate value of fuel filled, so the petrol filling pump owner is cheated on customer but customer do not know about cheating due to existing fuel metering system. All benefit goes to the petrol filling pump owner so that they many times cheated with customer. To solve this problem we developed a system of digital fuel meter that indicate value of fuel in digits such as 1lits, 1.5lits, 2lits etc. The digital fuel meter is applicable for all type of vehicles like car and bikes etc. Vehicle Petrol theft is one of the main concerns of many bike owners and car owners. Many times we have heard or some of us have already faced that petrol from their bike or cars has been stolen. The bike owner or car owner is unaware about the fuel theft. When he ride bike next time because of fuel thefting he have to face lot of problems. To avoid such problem Digital Fuel Meter and antitheft system should be implemented in vehicle. In this system we used the microcontroller as the main part which send the message to the owner by using the GSM module when the theft occurred and buzzer will start to indicate that fuel get theft all this process is real time so that more accurate and secure. GSM based vehicle fuel theft detection system with SMS indication has application in car, bikes and all other vehicles. While implementing the model, we have used telecommunication, to be specific; SMS is integrated or improvised to the present vehicle security system. Instead of human to human telecommunication, this system create new entity which is machine to human telecommunication. This project aims to use GSM technology to monitor security of fuel. II. PROBLEM STATEMENT Nowadays public faced so many problems with respect to vehicles, such as the fuel digital metering system will show the fuel in bar or deflection needle, so we cannot analyse the exact amount of fuel presence in the fuel tank Copyright to IJARST www.ijarsct.co.in DOI: XX.072020/IJARST 16 IJARST ISSN (Online) 2581-9429 International Journal of Advanced Research in Science & Technology (IJARST) Volume 7, Issue 3, July 2020 by bar and deflection of needle system which showed in fuel metering. Nowadays requirement of fuel is so very high due to number of vehicles are increased. Due to this reason cost of the fuel is also increased especially petrol, because of this reason thefting of fuel is also increased. If fuel is stolen owners don’t have any information about that. One of the main problem that is fuel mafia in petrol bunks, when public go to bunks to fill the fuel we are all get cheated. When we tell to fill fuel of 2 litres or 3 litres, we never got exact 2 or 3 litres. These are the problems we are all faced in our system. III. OBJECTIVES The exact amount fuel presence in the tank can be presented by our digital fuel metering system in digits or number. The fuel thefting can be avoid by providing a buzzer alarm while thefting occurred. We can get to know about the presence of fuel thefting by the message when the thefting is occurred. Fuel filling station cannot cheat the customer while filling the fuel. We can avoid the burned out of fuel in the fuel tank by the message indication. IV. PROPOSED METHODOLOGY AND WORKING A. Block diagram Figure 1: Block diagram of fuel theft detection and monitoring system B. Working Fuel theft Monitoring project consists of Arduino (328P Microcontroller), ultra sonic sensor to measure fuel level, flow sensor to detect fuel thefting. LCD display used to show real time fuel level, GSM module used to send SMS to alert user about fuel thefting and fuel level. In this circuit 9V, 2A SMPS isused to give power supply to all the components which take 230 input from main supply and convert it into 9V. This 9V further down to 5v from Arduino inbuilt voltage regulator. When power on all the components MCU measure fuel level and show it on LCD display ignition ON and OFF condition is also showed in LCD display. Flows ensorused to detect flow of fuel. GSM module used here to send Alert SMS to user about fuel level. If fuel amount get reduced during ignition OFF condition then owner get fuel theft alert SMS. Buzzer is also used alert surrounding about fuel thefting C. Methodology and flow chart Step 1: Start the process Step 2: insert key lock Step 3: Check fuel level Step 4: Is fuel below the range? If “YES” then go to Step 5. If “NO” the message will not be sent to owner.

Step 7: Check the buzzer is stopped within 2 minutes. Step 8: Send message owner. Step 9: Stop Figure 2: Flow Chart Methodology will shows the working of the project, first step is starting of process. Second is insert key lock, when insert key, sensor will start the work and check the level of fuel in tank. If in case fuel level is above the range, message will not sent to owner. In case fuel is below the range monitoring system send text message to owner and it’s directly go to next step. Immediately buzzer is on, whether check the buzzer is stopped within two minutes and it send message to owner and finally the process will completed. The above flow chart give the idea about the methodology V. COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION A. Arduino UNO R3 Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino boards are able to read inputs-light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message - and turn it into an output - activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online. You can tell your board what to do by sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board. To do so you use the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring), and the Arduino Software (IDE), based on Processing.

Ultrasonic sensor Figure 3: Ultrasonic sensor Ultrasonic transducers and ultrasonic sensors are devices that generate or sense ultrasound energy. An ultrasonic sensor uses a transducer to send and receive ultrasonic pulses that relay back information about an object’s proximity. Ultrasonic Sensor module is a transmitter, a receiver and a control circuit in one single pack. It offers excellent range accuracy and stable readings in an easy-to-use package. Its operation is not affected by sunlight or black material. The Trigger and the Echo pins are the I/O pins of this module and hence they can be connected to the I/O pins of the microcontroller/Arduino. When the receiver detects return wave the Echo pin goes high for a particular amount of time which will be equal to the time taken for the wave to return back to the sensor. C. Flow Sensor Figure 4: Flow sensor The liquid flow sensor is implemented using a Hall Effect Sensor. So, the working of the liquid flow sensor can be easily understood if you are familiar with a Hall Effect Sensor. Basically, the YF-S201 liquid flow sensor consists of a Flap Wheel (or a Turbine Wheel) that spins when liquid flows through the sensor. At the centre of this flap wheel, there is magnet fixed. When the South Pole of the magnet is towards the IC, then the output of the sensor is LOW and when the North Pole of the magnet is towards the IC, then the output is HIGH. Liquid Flow Sensor, the flap wheel spins due to the force of the liquid and as a result, the magnet attached to it will also spin. As a result, the magnetic field near the Hall-effect sensor switches polarity as the flap wheel spins and the output of the sensor (on the output Pin – Yellow Wire) will be a pulse. VI. CONCLUSION This is a unique method of designing and implementing a low cost circuit to detect the fuel theft attempted by using GSM technology and ARMLPC2148. In future there is no doubt, that all of the vehicle will be embedded with this unique kit. The Proposed scheme will help us to solve the fuel theft problem. Hence the larceners will not be able to theft the fuel or vehicle by any chance and it provides the complete protection. Digital Fuel Meter used for prevention from fuel theft & also it display the available fuel in tank in digitally. This meter is more advantages over analog meter by PIC microcontroller and GSM owner of bike is aware from fuel thefting using buzzer or SMS to the owner of bike. We increase the standard of measurement system using Digital Fuel Meter because of Digital Fuel Meter cheating with customer by fuel filling station can be avoided and performance of system also improved with the help of Digital Fuel Meter. VII.
