Abstract
Currently the fuel tank monitoring systems mostly still use conventional methods, using rulers or measuring sticks. Computers as interface media are needed to make the monitoring process easy. This research aims at facilitating the monitoring processes of a fuel tank at the public refueling gas station by implementing an Android-based mobile application. The method employed for data transmission process is wireless communication via Bluetooth and SMS gateway so that the fuel tank can be monitored directly through an application on an Android smart phone. The data of fuel volume in the fuel tank are sent and saved in the database for monitoring. The test results of the whole developed system show a success rate of 98.9 % for data transfer via Bluetooth connection and 93.33 % for data transfer via SMS gateway. Meanwhile, the accuracy rate of the ultrasonic sensor in measuring fuel volume in the tank yields an error percentage of 0–0.4 %.
