Intelligent liquid level display for auxiliary tanks

A method comprising:

• determining, by a control unit and using a first detection unit, that a user is proximate to a first auxiliary tank of a plurality of auxiliary tanks, wherein the plurality of auxiliary tanks is configured to store liquid;
• activating, by the control unit and based on the user being proximate to the first auxiliary tank, a second detection unit;
• determining, by the control unit and based on the first auxiliary tank, a liquid type associated with the first auxiliary tank;
• obtaining, by the control unit, a current weight in the vehicle from the second detection unit;
• determining, by the control unit, a weight change in the vehicle based on the current weight and a baseline weight;
• calculating, by the control unit, a liquid level change associated with the first auxiliary tank based on the current weight and a density associated with the liquid in the first auxiliary tank;
• displaying, by the control unit, the liquid level change and the liquid type on a user interface;
• determining, by the control unit, that the first auxiliary tank and a second auxiliary tank, of the plurality of auxiliary tanks, are to be filled;
• and
• providing, by the control unit, instructions to the user to sequentially fill the first auxiliary tank and the second auxiliary tank.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium in a distributed computing system, the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereupon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• determine, using a first detection unit, that a user is proximate to a first auxiliary tank of a vehicle, wherein the vehicle includes a plurality of auxiliary tanks configured to store liquids;
• activate, based on the user being proximate to the first auxiliary tank, a second detection unit of the vehicle;
• determine, using the first detection unit, that a nozzle is being used to fill liquid in the first auxiliary tank;
• determine, based on a color of the nozzle, a liquid type associated with the liquid;
• obtain a current weight in a vehicle from the second detection unit;
• determine a weight change in the vehicle based on the current weight and a baseline weight;
• calculate a liquid level change associated with the first auxiliary tank based on the weight change and a density of the liquid;
• and
• display the liquid level change and the liquid type on a user interface.
