How to choose a fuel consumption sensor and do not sit in a puddle?

Fuel consumption sensors made a real breakthrough in the GPS-monitoring of vehicles, allowing you to control not only the location, but also to get real information about the dispersed fuel, depending on the operating conditions of the equipment. This is the most effective tool to prevent theft of fuel in the enterprise.

There is a large variety of fuel monitoring sensors on the market that are used in GPS monitoring systems. They have different accuracy and principle of operation. In this article, it will be described which sensors for fuel control are, what accuracy they have, in which cases it is better to use a specific sensor model.

The main types of fuel sensors:

1. Capacitive fuel level sensors.
2. Flow-through fuel meters.
3. Magnetostriction level sensors.
4. Regular float sensor.
5. CAN-reader, which allows obtaining the calculated data on the level and fuel consumption from the on-board computer.
