ABSTRACT
The project aims at fabricating a digital fuel indicator in automobile (two wheelers).In the present scenario, only analog fuel indicator are available. Exact quantity of fuel inside tank, unable to know the amount of fuel pumped at outlet is major disadvantages of the present system.

In order to overcome these difficulties, a digital fuel indicator has been planted to fabricate .this improved system will show as digitally ,low much quantity of fuel is inside the tank and the quantity of fuel pumped at the petrol outlets.

In order to accomplish the tank of designing the digital fuel indicator, a level sensor (or) light emitting sensor is used. this sensor will read the quantity of fuel inside the tank and will send the sensed signal to the control unit which is programmed processor.

The output from the sensor is fed as input to the control unit which will read the sensor signal. the output of the control unit is fed to the already existing digital panel in the automobile. There by the vehicle user will ware to know the exact quantity in liters available inside the tank.

INTRODUCTION
Now a days all the measuring devices are in digital format, but the fuel indicator in automobile are in analog form only. To overcome this problem the project aims to fabricate a digital fuel indicator .the digital level fuel indicator are very useful in modern world and also it will identify the theft of petrol in petrol bunks. In this digital fuel indicator, the petrol level is measured in the ranges of100; 200ml.which will be displayed in existing digital panel of the automobile. A sensor is a device which receiver and responds to a signal. A sensors sensitivity indicates how much the sensors output changes when the measured quantity changes. Sensors are many types like temperature sensor, touch sensor, proximity sensors etc., Either a level sensor (or) light emitting sensor is proposed to be implemented in our project based on their performance.

OBJECTIVES
Our main objective is to indicate the correct amount of fuel level in the tank. In order to achieve our objective here we use a level sensor with a digital meter which shows the amount of fuel in exact quantity. A sensor and processing unit is used to find out fuel level which is economic and also accurate. We also predicted the time for refueling the vehicle and also to check the amount while fueling.

METHODOLOGY
The digital fuel indicator consists of the fuel tank, control unit, digital panel. 1. Fuel tank design; In order to test the fuel level any of the present two wheeler petrol tank is to be taken for observation. 2. Sensor;
A sensor is a device which receiver and responds to a signal. A sensors sensitivity indicates how much the sensors output changes when the measured quantity changes.

3. Control unit: A processor will be programmed to read the output signals from the sensor. the output of the control unit will be fed to the digital panel.
