Abstract
A method of preventing improper mixing of additives in a refueling storage tank includes receiving, by a computing device, data related to an additive introduced to the refueling storage tank from a sensor positioned in the refueling storage tank. The additive introduced to the refueling tank is determined, by the computing device, based on the data received from the sensor. An output is provided, by the computing device, when the determined additive does not match a predetermined additive for the refueling storage tank. Devices and systems for preventing improper mixing of additives in a refueling storage tank are also disclosed.
Claims27
A method of preventing improper mixing of additives in a refueling storage tank, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, data related to an additive introduced to the refueling storage tank from a sensor positioned in the refueling storage tank;
- determining, by the computing device, the additive introduced to the refueling tank based on the data received from the sensor;
- and
- providing, by the computing device, an output when the determined additive does not match a predetermined additive for the refueling storage tank.
A system comprising:
- a sensor positioned in a refueling storage tank configured to provide data related to an additive introduced to the refueling storage tank;
- and
- a computing device or programmable hardware logic coupled to the sensor configured to:
- receive data related to an additive introduced to the refueling storage tank from the sensor;
- determine the additive introduced to the refueling tank based on the data received from the sensor;
- and
- provide an output when the determined additive does not match a predetermined additive for the refueling storage tank.
A refueling or dispenser truck comprising:
- one or more a storage tanks configured to receive one or more additives;
- a sensor positioned in at least one of the one or more refueling storage tanks configured to provide data related to an additive introduced to the at least one of the one or more refueling storage tanks;
- and
- a computing device or programmable hardware logic coupled to the sensor configured to:
- receive data related to an additive introduced to the at least one of the refueling storage tanks from the sensor;
- determine the additive introduced to the refueling tank based on the data received from the sensor;
- and
- provide an output when the determined additive does not match a predetermined additive for the refueling storage tank.
