Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
