This research introduces a Detailed Digital Fuel Indicator (DDFI) system to
enhance fuel monitoring accuracy in automobiles using advanced infrared (IR)
sensor technology for precise fuel level detection. The innovative system
includes a secondary tank, meticulously calibrated to the volumetric ratio of
the primary tank, to ensure consistent and accurate readings. The DDFI system
provides real-time data on fuel levels with an impressive accuracy of ±5%, a
notable improvement over the traditional methods. Key components of the system
include an IR sensor, a programmable integrated circuit (IC), and a secondary
tank fabricated from galvanized iron (GI) sheet metal, ensuring durability and
reliability in various environmental conditions. The system is designed to be
user-friendly, offering an intuitive interface for drivers to monitor fuel
levels effortlessly. Additionally, the DDFI system integrates seamlessly with
existing vehicle systems, allowing for easy installation and minimal
maintenance. The findings signify a significant advancement in fuel management
technology, promising efficient vehicle operation, reduced fuel wastage, and an
improved overall user experience. This study highlights the potential for
further developments in digital fuel monitoring, paving the way for smarter,
more efficient automotive technologies.
