Abstract
In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a method is described. According to the method, an actual volume of fuel added to at least one fuel tank is determined. It is also determined, an amount of fuel indicated as having been added to the fuel tank from a refueling station. The actual volume added is compared to the amount of fuel indicated as having been added to determine a difference between the two values.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- determining an actual volume of fuel added to at least one fuel tank;
- determining an amount of fuel indicated as having been added to the at least one fuel tank from a refueling station;
- comparing the actual volume of fuel added to the amount of fuel indicated as having been added to determine a difference between the actual volume of fuel added and the amount of fuel indicated as having been added;
- and
- wherein determining an amount of fuel indicated as having been added to the at least one fuel tank from a refueling station occurs at a controller disposed on a vehicle on which the at least one fuel tank is disposed.
2 more elements
A system, comprising:
- an actual volume determiner to determine an actual volume of fuel added to at least one fuel tank;
- and
- a recorded volume determiner to determine an amount of fuel indicated as having been added to the at least one fuel tank from a refueling station;
- wherein the actual volume determiner comprises a fuel level sensor in the at least one fuel tank and a controller on a vehicle having the at least one fuel tank, the fuel level sensor being in communication with the controller;
- and
- wherein the controller is to determine a volume of fuel in the at least one fuel tank before and after a refueling operation and to determine the actual volume of fuel added from a comparison of the volume of fuel in the at least one fuel tank before and after the refueling operation.
