العربية Fuel tank monitoring
Fuel tank monitoring that notices what a padlock can’t
Diesel is cash that sits outside in a steel box. A wireless fuel tank level sensor turns every generator, heating-oil, and fleet tank into a live curve — so theft shows up as a spike, and empty never shows up at all.
01
Theft hides inside “consumption”
A few hundred liters siphoned overnight looks like a heavy week — until months of shrinkage add up. Without a level curve, you can suspect, but you can’t see it, time it, or prove it.
02
A generator is only as ready as its tank
The backup generator gets tested; its diesel level gets assumed. The outage that finds a quarter-full tank turns your continuity plan into a countdown.
03
Refills run on guesswork
Order too early and capital sits in the tank; order too late and you pay emergency-delivery rates. Guessing the level means paying for the guess either way.

How fuel tank monitoring works with Kilo
Fit a fuel tank level sensor
A battery-powered LoRaWAN or mioty fuel tank level sensor mounts on the tank and reports for years without wiring — on generator day tanks, heating-oil cellars, and yard tanks alike.
Watch the curve, not the cap
Dashboards show each tank’s live level and history. Steady slopes are consumption; a cliff at 3 am is a theft signature with a timestamp on it.
Set rules for drops and reorder points
A sudden-drop rule alerts on likely theft; a low-level rule flags the reorder point. Escalation chains carry both — push, SMS, or email — until someone acts.
Hardware, ready to work
Source fuel-tank level sensors and gateways from the Kilo Electronics store — pre-configured on request, so each unit arrives ready to mount at the tank. No IoT team required.

Fuel tank monitoring FAQ
Which fuel tank level sensor should I use?
Any LoRaWAN, mioty, or MQTT-capable fuel tank level sensor works with Kilo — top-mounted ultrasonic or radar units are common for diesel and heating oil. If you’re unsure, we can recommend and pre-configure a model for your tank type.
How does fuel theft detection work?
The rules engine watches how the level changes, not just where it is. Normal consumption falls gradually; a siphoning event drops sharply in minutes. A rate-of-change rule catches that pattern and fires the alarm chain immediately — with the exact time in the level history.
Can I monitor generator tanks at unmanned sites?
Yes. Sensor batteries last for years and a small gateway carries readings back over the site’s internet connection — so remote generator tanks report in daily without anyone on site.
How does this improve refill planning?
The trend curve shows consumption per tank, so you can see days-to-empty and set the reorder alarm where it suits your supplier’s lead time — deliveries land before the buffer runs out, at normal rates instead of emergency ones.
