Abstract
This invention is a sensor probe, generally used in the oil fracking business, and includes structurally a pair of tube members, concentrically assembled, an inner housing tube, and an outer spout tube, affixed to a cap and adaptor, with the inner housing holding one or more sensors, to detect the level of fuel within the fuel tank of the fracking truck. The adaptor has a first aperture for attachment of the fuel line, for delivery of fuel in the space between the tube members, and the adaptor has a second aperture for connection of an electrical receptacle, for attachment with the electric lines leading from the various sensors, to the adaptor, for connection with a circuit line from a remote monitor.
Claims17
A fracking sensor probe for detecting the level of fuel maintained in the fuel tank of a fracking truck, the fuel tank having a fuel inlet, comprising:
- said sensor provided for insertion into the fuel tank of a fracking truck, said sensor having an outer spout, said sensor having an inner housing, said inner housing extending through said outer spout and being concentrically arranged therein;
- a cap provided at the upper end of said outer spout and inner housing, said cap capable of being connected to the fuel inlet for the fuel tank;
- an adaptor securing to said cap, said outer spout securing to one of said adaptor and cap, and said inner housing securing to said adaptor;
- there being a fuel flow path through said adaptor, and said fuel flow path extending between said inner housing and outer spout;
- at least one fuel sensor provided within said inner housing and provided for detecting the fuel level when the sensor is at the level of fuel in the fuel tank;
- an electric line connecting to said sensor and said electric line provided through the said adaptor for delivery of information remotely regarding the fuel level within the fuel tank of the fracking truck and initiating delivery of fuel to the said fuel tank to replenish fuel supply to the fracking truck.
A sensor probe for detecting the level of fuel maintained in a fuel tank, the fuel tank having a fuel inlet, comprising:
- said sensor provided for insertion within the fuel tank, said sensor having an outer spout, said sensor having an inner housing, said inner housing through said outer spout is concentrically arranged therein;
- a cap provided at the upper end of said spout and inner housing, said cap capable of being connected to the fuel inlet for the fuel tank;
- an adaptor securing to said cap, said outer spout securing to one of said adaptor and cap, and said inner housing securing to said adaptor;
- there being a fuel flow path through said adaptor, and said fuel flow path extending between said inner housing and outer spout;
- at least one fuel sensor provided within said inner housing and provided for detecting the fuel level when the sensor is at the level of the fuel in the fuel tank;
- an electric line connecting to said sensor and said electric line provided through the said adaptor for delivery of information remotely regarding the fuel level within the fuel tank and initiating delivery of fuel to the said fuel tank to replenish the fuel supply within said tank.
