Abstract: There are many sensor based techniques available in the market to measure the liquid level and gives you a close idea of quantity of the liquid, however none can provide you an exact approximation of quantity as in cars by fuel meters what we get an idea of whether tank is full, empty, half full etc. The liquid level detector and optimizer play an important role in tanks to indicate the level of liquid of a particular density. In this paper we have proposed a technique to measure the amount of liquid available in tank. This device digitally displays the level of liquid inside the tanks using load sensor. The measurements are taken so the accuracy level is of
96.36%-98%. Thus it is an efficient device made by keeping in mind the petroleum thefts at the various petrol pumps at the time of filling of tanks.

circuit, the resistance increases and current reduces.
On the other side of the fuel gauge, there is an indicator or gauge that displays information about fuel levels to the driver of a car. This can consist of either a bimetallic strip or a microprocessor connected to the circuit in the sensing unit. As resistance changes in the circuit, current increases or decreases and the bimetallic strip will bend or straighten out depending on changes in current that increase or decrease the temperature of the strip.
