Abstract
A fuel delivery system and method for controlling a fuel delivery system includes a fuel control device including a valve and an electronic sensor assembly integrated to the fuel control device and is arranged to detect an operational positioning of the valve, to generate a record of the real-time activation of the valve, and to compare records of real-time activation against a schedule of fuel deliveries to detect unauthorized fuel access.
Claims20
A fluid control device configured communicate with a supply tank via a hose and comprising:
- a housing defining an inlet, an outlet, and a fluid flow pathway extending between the inlet and the outlet;
- a valve disposed within the housing for selectively controlling fluid flow between the inlet and the outlet;
- and
- an electronic sensor assembly connected to the housing and arranged to detect an operating position of the valve, wherein the electronic sensor assembly is configured to:
- detect a valve actuation based on a change in the operating position of the valve;
- generate a first data record representative of a real-time event of the valve actuation;
- and
- compare the first data record with a data representing a schedule of fuel deliveries.
