Refuelling and fuel-drain detection
Fuel theft is the classic African fleet problem — siphoning at stops, short-filling at depots. Platform-side detection depends on the data making it to the server first; a drain in a coverage hole is invisible until later, if it's noticed at all.
How the logic runs
Fuel level is read continuously from the sensor (analogue, digital, or CAN).
The algorithm compares the rate of change against your configured thresholds for refuelling and draining.
A drain event triggers immediately on the device — flagged in the data stream, and can drive an output or SMS alert.
Thresholds are user-configurable per vehicle — tank size and sensor type differ, so the template exposes the parameters.
Detection happens where the fuel is — on the vehicle. No dependency on live coverage, and the event lands in the record even if the drain happened in a dead zone.

Straight answers
Is this a ready-made template or custom development?
Ready-made — 'Control of refueling and fuel drains' ships in the Easy Logic template library with user-configurable parameters. We adapt it to your tanks and sensors.
Can it control a fuel dispenser too?
The library includes a partner template for the Exzotron fuel dispenser: RFID-authorised dispensing with daily and total limits.
Which fuel sensors work?
Whatever the tracker reads — analogue/digital fuel level sensors on inputs, or fuel data off the CAN bus on supported vehicles.
