- a non-limitative illustrative embodiment of the present disclosure provides a device and method for tracking fuel consumption of a motor vehicle.
- the fuel tracking device/method calculates the fuel that is consumed in the tanks of a motor vehicle by using precise fuel level sensors and compares it with the fuel consumption information provided by the vehicle's onboard computer as and allows comparison with fuel fill up invoices for the vehicle. This allows the quantification of the number of gallons of fuel that have been used to fill the tanks of the vehicle in order to have a better handle on the consumed fuel inventory and detect any loss of fuel due to theft.
- FIG. 1 there is shown a schematic diagram of a device for tracking fuel consumption of a motor vehicle 10 in accordance with an illustrative embodiment of the present disclosure.
- the fuel consumption tracking device 10 generally includes a control unit 12 and at least one digital fuel level sensor 14a, 14b configured to be positioned within an associated fuel tank 40a, 40b. It is to be understood that there will be a fuel level sensor 14 associated with each tank 40 present on the vehicle.
- the control unit 12 generally includes a processor 22 with an associated memory 24 having stored therein processor executable instructions 26 for configuring the processor 22 to perform the fuel consumption determination process 100 (seen in FIG. 2), an input/output (I/O) interface 28 for communication with the digital fuel level sensors 14a, 14b and the vehicle engine control unit (ECU) 42 through a communication link 48, which may be wired or wireless.
- processor executable instructions 26 for configuring the processor 22 to perform the fuel consumption determination process 100 (seen in FIG. 2)
- I/O input/output
- ECU vehicle engine control unit
- the input/output (I/O) interface 28 may optionally include one or more connectors, such as USB, Firewire, Thunderbolt, etc., for connecting a computing device, for example a smart phone, tablet PC, laptop computer or other such device, to the fuel consumption tracking device 10.
- a computing device for example a smart phone, tablet PC, laptop computer or other such device, to the fuel consumption tracking device 10.
- the user interface 30 allows a user to set fuel consumption error value thresholds, periodic fuel level readings intervals, both of which will be detailed further below, obtain fuel consumption reports, etc.
- the transceiver 32 allows wireless connection between the fuel consumption tracking device 10 and a computing device 50, for example a smart phone, tablet PC, laptop computer or other such device, via WiFi, Bluetooth, GSM, LTE or other wireless communication technology.
- a computing device 50 for example a smart phone, tablet PC, laptop computer or other such device, via WiFi, Bluetooth, GSM, LTE or other wireless communication technology.
- the user interface 30 may take the form of a web or application server, the computing device 50 running a browser application or app for remotely controlling the fuel consumption tracking device 10.
- a digital fuel level sensor 14a, 14b is positioned within each fuel tank 40a, 40b of the vehicle.
- Each digital fuel level sensor 14a, 14b can either be a replacement for an existing fuel level sensor or an addition to a fuel tank that either did or did not previously have a fuel level sensor.
- digital fuel level sensor 14a replaces an existing fuel level sensor within the left fuel tank 40a while digital fuel level sensor 14b is added to the right fuel tank 40b of the vehicle.
- the control unit 12 takes control of the calculation of the level of fuel 46 in the tanks 40a, 40b to obtain a calculation accuracy of about ⁇ 0.5% on fuel level in the tanks 40a, 40b.
- This level of precision is possible due to the use of digital fuel level sensors 14a, 14b that are more precise than the commonly used fuel level sensors such as mechanical floats whose accuracy can vary greatly.
- vehicles having two or more tanks commonly have a fuel level sensor within only one of the tanks, a pumping or gravity system equalizing fuel level in all of the tanks, this can lead to further imprecisions in the calculation of the fuel level.
- Each digital fuel level sensor 14a, 14b is operatively connected to the control unit 12 and, in the case where the digital fuel level sensor 14a is replacing an existing fuel level sensor, to the vehicle ECU 42 to continue to provide it with the fuel 46 level of the left tank 40a in order for it to continue to display the fuel level on the fuel gauge of the vehicle cabin and allow the vehicle to make its own internal fuel consumption calculations.
- FIG. 2 in addition to FIG. 1 , there is shown a flow diagram of the fuel consumption determination process 100 executed by the processor 22 of the control unit 12. Steps of process 100 are indicated by blocks 102 to 1 12.
- the process 100 starts at block 102 where the fuel consumption information is obtained from the ECU 42.
- the level of fuel 46 in each tank 40a, 40b is computed from the readings of the respective digital fuel level sensors 14a, 14b after a filling of the tanks 40a, 40b and prior to a subsequent filling. By computing the fuel 46 level difference, the control unit 12 can determine the amount of fuel 46 consumed between subsequent fillings.
- configurable periodic fuel 46 level readings are taken from each tank 40a, 40b using the respective digital fuel level sensors 14a, 14b. The control unit 12 determines the amount of fuel 46 consumed between subsequent periodic readings. These readings are performed even when the engine 44 is turned off. This allows the detection of situations where high quality fuel is being removed and replaced with lower quality fuel while the engine is turned off.
- control unit 12 computes the fuel 46 consumed between subsequent fillings and periodic readings, and, at block 1 10, compares those values with the fuel consumption information obtained from the ECU 42 at block 102 and determines a fuel consumption error value between the two fuel consumption values.
- the control unit 12 sends an alert message to the owner of the vehicle via the transceiver 32, for example as a text message on a computing device 50 of the owner. It is to be understood that, optionally, the control unit 12 may also send regular fuel consumption reports the owner of the vehicle. [0036] It is to be understood that one skilled in the art would easily realize that the device 10 and method 100 for tracking fuel consumption of a motor vehicle of the present disclosure could be integrated directly (or built-in) into the ECU 42 of the vehicle such that no external device would be required, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. [0037] Referring now to FIG.
- a fuel tank 40 usually has a fuel cap 200 for sealing the tank 40 and allowing for the insertion of fuel, a vent 202 for allowing the tank 40 to be properly ventilated, and an Original Equipment manufacturer (OEM) fuel level sensor 204 for providing fuel level readings in the tank 40.
- OEM Original Equipment manufacturer
- FIG. 4A in addition to FIG. 3 and FIG. 1 , typical aftermarket fuel level sensors replace the OEM fuel level sensor 204 of fuel tanks 40a, 40b, illustratively located underneath a vehicle cabin 206, and vents 202a, 202b are solely used for ventilation purposes.
- FIG. 4B in addition to FIG. 3 and FIG.
- modular combined vent and digital fuel level sensors 208a, 208b are inserted into the vents 202a, 202b of the tanks 40a, 40b.
- modular combined vent and digital fuel level sensors 208a, 208b may be used in conjunction with OEM fuel level sensor 204 for further accuracy and redundancy.
- the modular combined vent and digital fuel level sensor 208 is illustratively inserted into fuel tank 40 in three steps.
- a first section 210 of fuel level sensor 208 comprising a first coupling 212 is inserted into the fuel tank 40's vent 202.
- the vent 202 and first section 210 are threaded, allowing first section 210 to securely and rotatably fasten to the fuel tank 40 while being inserted.
- a second section 214 of fuel level sensor 208 comprising a second coupling 216 is inserted into vent 202 and coupled to first section 210 via the first coupling 212.
- a third section 218 of fuel level sensor 208 is inserted into vent 202 and coupled to second section 214 via second coupling 216.
- Third section 218 comprises a vent cap 220, thus allowing the modular combined vent and digital fuel level sensor 208 to simultaneously provide fuel level readings and properly ventilate the fuel tank 40.
- inserting the fuel level sensor 208 in parts into the vent 202 is advantageous as there is limited space to perform this operation.
- the structure of the fuel sensor 208 advantageously provides simultaneous venting of the tank 40 without cluttering the regular fuel cap 200 with a fuel level sensor.
