Enhancing Vehicle Efficiency with High-Tech Fuel Level Sensors
Whether you own a car or an entire fleet, inefficient fuel consumption and soaring prices continue to be one of the biggest challenges. Is your vehicle consuming more fuel than usual? Are you spending thousands of pounds on fuel every month? Do you feel ‘discrepancies’ in fuel consumption? Presenting to you the first-of-its-kind wireless car fuel level sensor by Escort Monitoring Systems Group!! Robust and intuitive, TD-BLE forms the crux of any fuel monitoring system – enabling you to monitor and control fuel consumption in real time.
The importance of accurate fuel level monitoring cannot be overstated; thanks to the cutting-edge technology that gives you precise information about a vehicle’s fuel level, total fuel consumption, refilling and fuel efficiency. The hands-on data enables you to prevent fraudulent activities like fuel theft, foster efficient driving behaviour, and achieve significant cost savings.
Let’s explore how Escort Monitoring Systems Group’s fuel level monitoring sensors can improve vehicle efficiency, reduce costs, and boost optimised fleet operations.
Understanding Car Fuel Level Sensors
A car fuel level sensor, such as Escort TD-BLE, is a high-tech device that accurately measures the amount of fuel in your vehicle’s fuel tank. It combines advanced telematics and GPS monitoring to provide real-time vehicle tracking and precise fuel level readings. The sensor is installed in the fuel tank and it is calibrated to measure the empty tank and fuel tank values. Once it is installed and calibrated, the device is connected to a remote monitoring system using an OEM adapter.
The sensor will precisely capture fuel levels which you can monitor through our mobile application remotely from anywhere and at any time. The device sends this data to the telematics unit via Bluetooth module which is then transmitted to you via the Internet using GSM technology. You can seamlessly integrate our sensors with a fuel level monitoring system to get instant alerts on fuel drain and refuelling.
The key components of a fuel level sensor are as follows:
Measurement rod:
It is inserted into the fuel tank and calibrated to measure different fuel levels.
GPS tracker:
The tracker helps correlate the fuel level data with the real-time location of the vehicle.
Bluetooth module:
Our fuel level sensors use BLE technology to transmit fuel level data wirelessly to the GPS unit.
GSM modem:
Fuel level data is transmitted to the remote monitoring system using a GSM modem via the Internet.
Calibration tool:
It performs calibration of the fuel sensor post-installation in the fuel tank.
Advantages of Fuel Level Monitoring
There are numerous benefits of using Escort Monitoring Systems Group’s fuel level sensors for efficient and accurate fuel level monitoring:
- Fuel theft prevention
Our fuel level indicator accurately measures and monitors your vehicle’s fuel consumption regularly. Any sudden activity in the fuel tank such as fuel level drop, refilling, etc. is instantly recorded and sent as an alert. Taking both preventive/corrective actions based on this data can help deter fuel theft and misuse. - Efficient route planning
With real-time data on your vehicle’s fuel usage during a trip, you can plan the most efficient route that can save time and fuel too. - Improve driver’s accountability
Speeding, taking inefficient routes, neutral driving, vehicle idling, etc., are some driving patterns that can lead to increased fuel consumption and higher costs. Our fuel level sensors and peripheral devices allow you to remotely track uneconomical driving behaviours, so you can better train them and improve accountability towards fuel savings. - Preventive maintenance
Real-time fuel monitoring also provides valuable insights into vehicle performance and other factors such as fuel leaks and spills. Detecting these issues early can help you schedule preventive maintenance, ensuring the safety of your drivers and improving vehicle performance. - Regulatory compliance
A fuel level monitoring system can help you stay compliant with safety and environmental regulations by ensuring fuel efficiency and preventing contamination. - Reduced costs
55% of fleet operators have reported significant cost savings from implementing advanced fuel level monitoring sensors.
No more guesswork; no more losing thousands of pounds in fuel costs!! Switch to Escort Monitoring Systems Group’s car fuel level sensor to ensure efficient fuel usage and cut down costs.
Types of Fuel Level Sensors
You can find various types of fuel level sensors in the market – pick one that meets your unique fuel monitoring challenges and fuel type.
Fuel pump level sensor:
A fuel pump level sensor is a device attached to the fuel pump carrier bracket, providing accurate readings of fuel levels in the tank.
Gas gauge sensor:
In the automotive industry, a gas gauge sensor is a high-tech instrument that indicates the amount of fuel a vehicle has in the fuel tank.
Gas tank level sensor:
The sensor can be installed in vehicles that run on gas, efficiently measuring and monitoring the amount of gas level and consumption patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is a car fuel level sensor and why is it important?
Fuel level sensors are devices that allow you to monitor fuel levels in your vehicle’s fuel tank, providing valuable insights into fuel consumption, refilling, draining and overall fuel efficiency.
Q. How does a fuel level indicator work?
A fuel level indicator will read fuel levels in the tank and collate this data with the vehicle’s real-time location using GPS technology. The data is then sent to a remote monitoring system via GSM through which you can access all information right from our application.
Q. Can a fuel level monitoring system save me money?
Yes; by providing real-time and accurate insights into your vehicle’s fuel levels, the device helps prevent fuel pilferage, unexpected drainage, uneconomical driving patterns and other activities – resulting in increased cost savings.
Q. What's the difference between a gas gauge sensor and a petrol tank level sensor?
A gas gauge sensor measures the amount of gas in the vehicle’s tank whereas a petrol tank level sensor records precise petrol levels.
Q. How often should I check or replace my fuel pump level sensor?
Though our fuel level sensors are built for lasting performance, you should regularly inspect them to detect wear & tear and corrosion.
Q. How long does the installation process take?
If all preparatory tasks are completed before starting the installation, setting up the fuel sensor and GPS tracker should take no longer than three hours. This timeframe includes sensor and tank calibration, and integrating the fuel sensor with the GPS tracker.
Q. Can drilling a tank be safe?
Drilling a fuel tank is entirely safe if specific precautions are taken, such as emptying the fuel tank beforehand. It’s also crucial to release any vapors in the tank, especially if the vehicle runs on gasoline rather than diesel. Furthermore, the Escort fuel level sensor is certified for explosion protection, making it suitable for transporting explosive goods.
Q. Will drilling a tank lead to losing warranty?
Vehicle manufacturers generally offer warranties for the engine but not for the fuel tank. Additionally, the fuel tank is constructed from aluminum, making it quite delicate. As a result, fleet technicians have to replace the fuel tank every six months due to numerous incidents. Frequently, the fuel tank gets damaged when the driver maneuvers a semi-trailer over high curbs.
