To indicate the % of fuel is available in a
vehicle, quantity of the fuel, projection of distance and time taken to empty
the fuel.
Introduction:
In the fast and digital world, everyone wants anyone
should be in digital, picture, video and also simple form. People’s Thinking
and memory capacity is very much decreased. Even some people are not remembering
their mobile number itself. Nowadays next to Mobile phone, Automobile sector is
becoming essential one to all parts of the world people. Vehicles are using for
commercial or private purpose. Even lower class people also try to use a
vehicle depending upon their usage and finance position. Generally speaking
well financial background people buy a brand new model of car / bike / van /bus
/ lorry etc., Poor financial people will buy a second hand motor cycle. For
commercial purpose people are buying bus, lorry, van, auto etc., but the
necessity of the travelling by the people day by day is in increasing trend. It
is unavoidable to one and becoming essential too. For that many of the people
buy a small to big size vehicle for their own or somebody hire a vehicle or
they take the vehicle as rent. Even somebody use neighbour, friends, company,
relative vehicle etc.,. During that time every people met some bad experience.
To avoid this bad experience some more sophistication is expecting from the
automobile manufacturer. But they don't know what people are expected
further?
To identify their expectation, one should
imagine or feel something to provide extra advantage for the customer without
investing extra money. But it should be a reasonable one also all should get
advantage form it. Generally people are now aware of efficiency of the vehicle.
It is due to cost of the fuel! Also anyone can't judge the efficiency of the
fuel as well as the efficiency of the engine. When we analyse the history of
the Automobile, first indicator was provided how much KM / Miles that the
vehicle has traveled (Speedometer)? Then speed of the motor cycle (Mile or KM
per Hour)! Fuel level indicator (Fuel level) in fuel tank etc., Of all this
most useful one is Fuel Quantity indicator. It is the most important one.
Without fuel nothing can do.
Apart from this 4 more
displays are needed to satisfy customers.
Note: All displays are
based on the fuel level indicator.
2. Quantity of the Fuel can be checked. (How
much liters of fuel is available in the fuel tank as well as top up fuel
quantity)
3. How much KM / Miles
can travel with available fuel.
4. How much time will
take to empty the fuel.
Description:
Some of the useful points of the above
indicators
1. Indicate the percentage of the available fuel:
Nowadays people are needed a display
(indicator) which will be available direct, sharp and accurate (without
calculating / without assuming / without monitoring). If the vehicle’s dash
board is having digitally display of the % of the available fuel, it is very
much easy to know the clear cut fuel stock and how much further needed. Say
instead of Empty, one line, two line... 9 line , the display may be indicate as
0% , 10% , 20%, 30% ..... 90% & 100%. Anyone can easy judge the level of
the fuel. This is needed to calibrate the fuel tank exactly from the level of
fuel indicator.
2. Top up Quantity of the Fuel can be checked:
After the display the % of Fuel, based on the
% , it will automatically gives the Quantity of the fuel with respect the fuel
% display. For example say the Fuel level display shows 0% , 10% , 20% .....
90% & 100% like that. Please note that already fuel tank is accurately
calibrated the % Vs the Quantity (liters) of the fuel. For example, 0% shows 0
lit , 10% shows 2 lits, 20% shows 5 lits.... 90% shows 25 lits , Full tank
shows - 28 lits. Due to all are digitally display anyone can directly know the
actual availability of the fuel quantity. Also one can verify the fill up (top
up) the fuel quantity. Say, if the initial indicator shows 20% which shows 5 lits.
If one fill up (top up) 10 lit then the % of the fuel level is increase
say 42% which may show 15 lits. So that any customer can check the approximate
/ correct top up quantity of the fuel filled.
3. How much KM / Miles
can travel with available fuel :
This is important display which is the most
useful in many ways. For Example during come across the traffic signal,
previously there were an indication of lights which are Red (for Stop), Yellow
(for watch) and Green (for Go). In that time only Stop and GO lights were very
important to manage the traffic. But the duration of ‘Stop to Go’ is not at all
a constant one in all signal. It has varied from signal to signal depend upon
the rush of the area. In heavy rush places, the ‘Stop to Go’ duration is very
high when compare to less rush one. This will be a nu-sense and little bit
uncomfortable to both walking people and riding vehicles. Because of no one
can’t judge that how much time it will take to glow 'GO' light?
After a long year or in due course, traffic
department has provided a 'Timer' to judge the (display the countdown duration)
time taken or how much time is there to become glow 'GO' (Green) light.
Then it has become significant in the traffic signal because any people can
easily know the waiting time.
Like this, during riding a vehicle, apart from
fuel level it is very much essential to know how much KM / Mile can travel with
available fuel. This can easily do with the help of Fuel quantity.
4. How much time will
take to empty the fuel.
From the display of the Fuel quantity, we can
easy arrive how much time it will take to empty the fuel because we have
already know the KM / liter by experience.
Reason to do this project:
This is because; nowadays many vehicles are in
the market with different type and different fuel efficiency. Even fuel
indicator is available some time we can see vehicle is stopping in the middle
of the road because we can’t know exactly quantity of fuel is available in the
vehicle. Quantity of fuel may be reduced due to evaporation, leak in the tank
or tube, fraud in the petrol / diesel bunk.
People can't able to come conclusion to
understand the KM or Mile per lit. Each and every model is having different
efficiency. It can be approximately calculated by average speed of the vehicle.
This will help the rider to assume the distance can be traveled with remaining
fuel quantity.
Working Method is
based on Calibration of Fuel Tank:
Note : It is a chance that Manufacturer may make a fuel tank as
standard one. So the level of the tank
can easily measure. Now it is available in different shape and size.
First fill the fuel
tank with water or any oil
Drain the oil at the
rate of 250 ml or 1 mm and note the height / level of the tank (measure the
height of the tank from top to bottom by the use of tape).
Until it will be carried
out last 250 ml / last 1 mm.
Again
fill the tank with 250 ml.
Add
every 250 ml or 1 mm oil and simultaneously note the height of the fuel tank.
This
will be carried out until last 250 ml filled.
In
these two operations we can know the total volume or capacity of the fuel tank.
For example: Say The
fuel tank volume is : 10.5 lits
For every 250 ml is : 250 X
100
-------------- = 2.4 % (if the tank in regular shape)
10500
2.4 % X 42 division:
100 %
From the % we can
easily calculate the Quantity.
Say for example : If
the tank is having 15% means :
2.4 % = 250 ml
Then 15% = 15 X 250
-------------- = 1562 ml or 1.56 Lits
2.4
If
you fill 5 lit fuel in the tank , then the tank level is
Starting % 15 and the
Quantity is 1.56 lit
Filled 5 lit = 1.56 +
5.0 = 6.56 lits
Then indicate the % as 250
ml = 6560 X 2.4 %
--------------------
= 62.9 % say 63 %
250
From this we can
calculate the KM / Miles with available fuel in the fuel tank.
Say we assume
that the Fuel tank is having 3.5 lit of fuel. And assume that the vehicle's
average speed is 60 KM / Hour and giving milage is 60 KM per lit.
So for fuel quantity
of 3.5 lit it will show that you can travel still 210 KM with available fuel in
the tank.
* From this it shows
that the time taken for 210 KM
That is, it shows 3h
30 min (The average speed of the vehicle is 60 KM per Hour)
Advantages:
1.
Due to Fuel quantity
display and Distance yet can be traveled; we may fully avoid the stoppage of
vehicle in the middle road.
2.
You can see the top up
quantity of fuel by the Petrol bunk from the display
3.
Evaporation loss,
leakage loss, bunk people fraud can be known
4.
Efficiency of the
Engine and fuel can be easily arrived.
5.
Anyone knows the status of fuel from this
display.
6.
Excess of fuel not
necessary to be stocked.
Conclusion:
From these four
displays, anyone can travel comfortably. Stoppage in the middle road can be
fully avoided. It will be a mile stone in the automobile industry.
