Fuel Monitoring System in Tikamgarh: Diesel Level on Your Phone

Most small transport businesses in Tikamgarh have the same three readers for fuel numbers: the owner, a manager who dispatches vehicles, and someone who keeps the accounts. Trakzee Premium lets each of them look at the same vehicles through separate logins, so nobody has to forward screenshots. The owner usually wants a quick picture of tank levels and where each vehicle is. The manager wants to know which vehicle can take the next load. The accounts person wants dated refill entries that can be set against bills, with the rise in litres next to each.

The owner's view is the live screen. Open the app in the morning and each fuel-fitted vehicle shows its position and its present tank level. A tipper parked at the yard with a low reading is a vehicle that should be refuelled before it is sent out. A truck far down the road with a falling level tells you it is working, not standing. Five minutes at breakfast replaces a round of calls to drivers who may be out of coverage.

The manager works from fuel and trip reports. These put consumption, mileage and stoppages side by side for every vehicle, so a manager can see which truck is running thirstier than its neighbours on the same kind of job. That comparison is the starting point for a conversation with the driver or a check at the workshop. It is much easier to ask a precise question when the report already shows the day and the route.

The accountant's weekly task is reconciliation. Refill records show the date and the time together with the size of the rise, and those entries can be matched with pump slips or depot challans. Any refill with no matching bill, or a bill with no matching refill, is flagged for a human question. Sub-user logins keep this tidy: the accountant sees reports without touching alerts, and the manager cannot alter what the owner has configured.

A fuel drop alert means that the tank level fell faster than normal driving would explain. Trakzee Premium notes the time and the place of the fall, and sends the alert so you can look while the details are fresh. This is a report, and it needs a person to interpret it. The system records and warns. It does not lock the tank, and it cannot stop diesel being drawn out by someone who has access to the cap.

First, look at what the vehicle was doing. If the tracker shows it parked at a place where the driver had no reason to be, or stationary with the engine off while the level slid down, the pattern deserves a conversation. If the vehicle was moving on a steep or rough stretch, the reading may simply have sloshed, and a later reading usually settles back. Check the next few readings before drawing conclusions about anyone.

Second, check the ordinary explanations. Was a pipe repaired at the workshop that morning? Was the vehicle parked tilted on a slope? Did a refill happen just before and complicate the graph? Rusted or dented tanks, dirt or water in the diesel, and a tank that was handled carelessly during calibration can all disturb readings. Rule these out first, because a wrong accusation costs you a driver.

Third, act on the record. Ask the driver for his account of that hour, and compare it with the time and location the report gives. Keep the screen capture with the date. If the same pattern repeats at the same hour or the same place, you now have something specific to raise, and you can sit with the driver and the fuel record together. Repeating checks like this is what changes behaviour over weeks, not any one alert.

Start with one vehicle. The package is ₹19,999 per vehicle, and that figure includes the Teltonika FMB920 tracker, one fuel level sensor, installation and calibration, Trakzee Premium software, an Airtel SIM, and a one-year warranty with AMC. The sensor brand does not move the price: Omnicomm, Mercetech and Mielta Fantom all cost the same. From the second year, the software and SIM service renews at ₹3,000 per year. So one vehicle costs ₹19,999 in year one, ₹22,999 by the end of year two and ₹25,999 by the end of year three.

Now take a fleet of five: say three tippers, one pickup and one van. Five packages at ₹19,999 come to ₹99,995 in the first year. In the second year, five renewals at ₹3,000 add ₹15,000, so the running total is ₹1,14,995. In the third year another ₹15,000 brings the cumulative cost to ₹1,29,995. That equals five times the single-vehicle figure of ₹25,999, which is a handy check on your own sums.

What the number does not include is worth stating. Installation inside Bhopal is part of the package. For a vehicle in Tikamgarh, a BearTech executive travels to fit the sensor, and the cost of his road trip and room is the client's. BearTech states that amount before you order, and fitting several vehicles in one visit is a sensible way to spread it. A second tank on the same vehicle, with its own sensor, is quoted separately when you ask.

A last practical point on payment. You settle the full amount on the day of fitting, or you can book with a small token under the cash-on-delivery option that outside-Bhopal customers get. Nothing can be returned, refunded or swapped once the work is done, so confirm the sensor type and probe length before the executive travels. For more than a few vehicles the price may vary with requirements, and a call or WhatsApp to 97526 44035 gets you the latest figure for the whole fleet.

A quote on a fuel sensor depends on the tank, so the more you can say in the first message, the quicker the reply. Start with the vehicle type: tipper, truck, pickup, bus, van or machine. Then say how many vehicles you want fitted, and send the registration number of each if you have it. It also helps to say what work the vehicle does, such as stone haulage, grain trips or passenger runs.

Next, the tank. Note its approximate size in litres and whether the diesel tank is a single unit or a pair. If you can send a clear photograph of the tank and the cap area, the team can judge how the probe will enter from above and what length it needs. Mention anything unusual, such as a dented tank, a repaired tank or a tank with internal parts, because those affect how readings behave and calibration may need extra attention.

Tell us where the vehicle will be on the day of fitting. For Tikamgarh, a BearTech executive travels to you, so the address or yard, a contact number and a rough date window all matter, as does the name of the person who will meet the executive at the gate. Say whether the vehicle can stay at the site for a few hours with a tank that is easy to reach and fairly clean. Fitting three or four vehicles at one location is easier to schedule than one at a time over a week.

After you send these details, BearTech confirms the sensor model and probe length, the place of fitting, what the executive's trip will cost you, and the final price. The equipment reaches you in about two working days, if stock allows. You then either book with a token under cash on delivery, or pay in full when the fitting is done. Keep the support line 99937 84035 handy for login help later, and the sales line 97526 44035 for orders.

Picture a tipper in the yard. Inside its diesel tank sits a thin probe, lowered through a small opening in the upper face and trimmed to suit that particular tank. The probe is capacitive, which in plain words means that its electrical behaviour changes as the diesel rises or falls around it. That change is the raw material of the whole system, and it is measured continuously while the vehicle is on.

Next, the sensor passes the measurement to the Teltonika FMB920 tracker, either through a cable to the tracker's analog input or, with the two wireless options, over Bluetooth. The tracker also knows the vehicle's position from satellites and its ignition status. It bundles the fuel reading with those facts and sends the packet out through the Airtel SIM, so every level comes with a place and a time attached, and nothing needs to be typed in by anyone.

At the other end, Trakzee Premium turns the numbers into something a person can read. Calibration, done at installation by matching the readings to known quantities of diesel, is what converts the raw signal into litres. The app then draws the level over time, marks refills, and raises a drop alert when the line falls too fast. You can open the same data on a phone or on a computer in the office.

Notice how little the owner has to do. There is nothing to read at the tank, no stick to dip, and no driver's note that has to be taken on trust. The vehicle does its work, the data goes up, and the numbers are waiting for you. What the owner does have to do is look, now and then, and ask a question when something looks unusual. The device supplies facts; the habit of checking them is yours.

BearTech does the fitting itself. For a vehicle in Bhopal the labour is already inside the package price. In Tikamgarh, a BearTech executive travels to the place you name, and the client pays his journey and lodging, a figure you are told before placing the order. The team comes from Bhopal, so the visit is planned in advance and it pays to group your vehicles.

The sequence has six steps. The vehicle and tank are checked and the probe length noted. The executive makes a small opening in the upper face of the tank, trims the probe to the depth, then fixes the sensor in place and seals around it. Next the FMB920 is wired into the vehicle and paired with the sensor, over a cable or through Bluetooth. Calibration follows, which ties the readings to real litres, and last the vehicle is added to your Trakzee Premium account with a login handed over.

The job ends with a short demonstration at the site. You see the live fuel level and the alerts on the screen with the executive, and you can ask questions while the vehicle is in front of you. If BearTech's work harms the vehicle's wiring during the job, the repair is paid by BearTech. Recalibration after a tank repair or change, or a refit of the sensor, is a chargeable job, so mention any planned tank work before fitting day.

Your preparation is modest. Have the vehicle at the agreed site for a few hours, with the tank reasonably clean and reachable. Know the tank size and keep the registration number to hand. Try to have the tank at a sensible level on the day, since calibration works by matching readings against measured diesel. You pay in full at fitting, or use the token-based COD route open outside Bhopal, and the warranty and AMC begin from that day.
