Fuel & Bowser

If it leaves the tank, we know about it.

Tank-side capacitive sensing, geofenced bowser reconciliation, and live theft alerts — for fleets where fuel is more than a line item.

If it leaves the tank, we know about it.

Capabilities

What we deploy for fuel-heavy operations.

Tank-side dispense detection

Capacitive sensors detect every fill and drain — accurate to within 1% of tank volume.

Geofenced reconciliation

Bowser dispense + receiving vehicle position + tank delta — all reconciled automatically. Mismatches surface as alerts.

Theft alerts

Suspicious drain outside known stops, fills not on a registered card, or volume mismatches all trigger live alerts.

CAN-J1939 reading

Where capacitive isn't feasible, we read fuel from the engine ECU directly. Honest data either way.

Driver scoring on fuel

L/100 km per driver, per route, per vehicle. Coaching and incentives that actually move the number.

Bowser & yard support

Bowsers and bulk tanks are first-class objects — not afterthoughts. Geofenced reconciliation across the entire flow.

How it works

From kick-off to live in production

STEP 01
Sensors fitted

Escort capacitive probe in tank, or Technoton flow meter on the line. Calibrated against tank shape.

STEP 02
Bowser linked

Bowser pump linked to platform — every dispense reported with vehicle ID, volume, time, and operator.

STEP 03
Live theft monitoring

Dispatchers see every drain, fill, and bowser event in real time. Anomalies escalate automatically.

FAQ

Common questions

How does this differ from CAN fuel data?

CAN tells you what the engine consumed. Capacitive sensing tells you what's actually in the tank. The gap between them is where theft hides — we report both.

Can we reconcile against a fuel card?

Yes — common fuel-card providers integrate via API. Mismatches between card transactions and actual tank deltas are flagged automatically.

Does this work for yellow plant?

Yes. Earthmoving, generators, mobile bowsers — we handle them all as named assets, with hours-based and litre-based rules.

How accurate is theft detection?

False positives are rare once the calibration phase is complete (typically 2 weeks). Real-world deployments report 90%+ true-positive rate on suspicious drains.

Find out what's actually leaving your tanks.

A 2-week calibration phase typically reveals more than the previous 12 months of bowser tickets ever did. Tell us about your setup.
