IIT Kanpur students develop device to check fuel theft by petrol pump operators

Now alongwith the Central and State Government teams, the common man will also be able to catch the fuel theft at petrol pumps. PhD students of the Mechanical Department of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) have developed a special device (Fuel Quantifiers) in this regards.

Now on the petrol and diesel pumps, the hacks to burn a hole in the common-mans pocket will not . A special type of device (Fuel Quantifier) ​​can be installed in the fuel tank of the car or bike. Nozzle of gasoline or diesel pump machine will be in the tank from inside the device. With this help, you will know the actual amount of oil in just 10 seconds. The developer students of IITs have estimated the cost of the device to be only Rs.1500 to 2000 rupees per unit. However, if the orders are in bulk amount then the cost could go down below Rs 500. The Institute has patented this research.

Measure of oil per unit time

‘Fuel Quantifier Device’ measures the oil per unit time. It measures the flow rate of oil. Whether the speed of going to the oil from the nozzle to the tank is fast or slow, it does not have any effect. According to experts, the device has several sensors. First of all, the oil goes into the magnetic rotor. There are a number of negative and positive blades in it. The reading of the oil flow will move into the microprocessor unit as it rotates the blade. Microprocessor is already calibrated. It has been functioning with the whole circuit.
