Abstract

Consumed fuel by mobile technology determines the cost of agricultural products. In this regard, special attention is paid to fuel consumption control. Currently, satellite monitoring systems are being widely introduced, due to which several methods of controlling fuel consumption can be implemented. The most common way to determine fuel consumption is to use a standard fuel level sensor. This method has a large error of determination associated with the design features of the sensor itself. The next method is to connect the equipment of the monitoring system to the CAN bus of the equipment. The disadvantage of this method is the determination error associated with the use of a standard sensor. Along with the standard flow sensor, an additional (analog, frequency or digital) installation is possible. Digital fuel level sensors are very common. The disadvantage of using these sensors is that the fuel level fluctuates during the movement of equipment and reduces the accuracy of the readings. It should be noted that at present, in the manufacture of fuel tanks, polymer materials subjected to deformations have begun to be widely used, due to which the error in determining fuel consumption reaches 20%. Along with the fuel level sensor, appropriate flow meters can be used. The disadvantages of their use include the need to make changes to the fuel system and take into account the return flow of fuel. Another way to control fuel consumption is to determine it by standards. It takes into account the flow rate when performing various works and at stops when the engine is running. Among the shortcomings, it is possible to distinguish the impossibility of determining the actual fuel consumption, time and place of discharge, affecting the accuracy of determining this consumption.
