How to Read Fuel Data in the Platform

This guide explains how to view and interpret fuel data from your vehicles 


1. Viewing Current Fuel Level (Live Map)

Image

Steps:

  1. Go to Map

  2. Select your vehicle from the list

  3. Click on the vehicle to open the info panel

What You’ll See:

  • Fuel Level (e.g., 32.75 L) → This is the current fuel in the tank

  • Displayed in litres (L)

Tip:

  • This value updates based on the fuel sensor installed in the vehicle, and can also read Cabus data

  • Small fluctuations can happen due to movement or terrain



2. Viewing Fuel Analytics (Graphs)

Steps:

  1. Go to Asset Info

  2. Select your vehicle

  3. Click on the Fuel tab

Understanding the Graph:

  • Downward Line (↘) → Fuel consumption while driving

  • Sharp Upward Jump (↑) → Fuel refill

  • Sudden Drop (↓) → Possible fuel drain/theft

Key Metrics Explained:

  • Distance → Total distance traveled

  • Current Fuel → Remaining fuel

  • Fuel Used → Total consumed

  • Consumption (km/L) → Efficiency

  • Drains → Detected fuel losses

  • Refills → Number of refueling events



3. Fuel Events (Refills & Drains)

Refills Section:

  • Shows:

    • Date & time

    • Location

    • Fuel added (litres)

  • Example:

    • Fuel increased from 127 L → 392 L

    • Refilled 264 L

Drains Section:

  • Shows any abnormal fuel drops

  • Useful for detecting:

    • Theft

    • Leakages



4. Fuel Reports

Steps:

  1. Go to Reports

  2. Search for Fuel

  3. Choose a report:

Available Reports:

  • Sensor / Fuel / Temperature

    • Raw sensor readings over time

  • Fuel Trip Listing Report

    • Fuel usage per trip

  • Fuel Summary Report

    • Overall fuel performance




5. Important Notes

  • Fuel accuracy depends on:

    • Sensor quality

    • Proper calibration

  • Sudden spikes or drops may be caused by:

    • Poor calibration

    • Vehicle tilt (e.g., hills)

  • Always compare:

    • Graph data

    • Report data

    • Actual refueling records
