How it works

How fuel monitoring works with TrailMyCar

1

Assess and calibrate

We select the right fuel sensor for your tanks and calibrate it to each vehicle.

2

Monitor live

Fuel level, refuels and usage appear on the platform in real time alongside location.

3

Catch losses

Sudden drops trigger instant siphoning alerts, and graphs reveal waste and anomalies.

4

Report and save

Per-vehicle fuel reports let you match spend to genuine activity and cut losses.

Overview

Understanding fuel monitoring

Fuel is often the largest single running cost in a fleet, and also the easiest to lose to theft and waste. Fuel monitoring puts a sensor in the tank that reports the actual fuel level minute by minute, so every refuel, every drop and every suspicious change is recorded against the vehicle and the exact time it happened.

Instead of guessing from receipts, you see the truth: how much fuel went in, how much was used on genuine activity, and any sudden drop consistent with siphoning — which triggers an instant alert. Consumption graphs make anomalies obvious and give you the evidence to act.

Accuracy depends on the sensor, tank shape and calibration, so we assess your vehicles, calibrate to them, and are upfront about the accuracy you can expect. The result is fuel spend that finally matches real activity.

Results vary by setup

Fuel-monitoring accuracy depends on tank shape, sensor type and calibration. We confirm the right configuration for your fleet before installation.

FAQ

Common questions

Accuracy depends on the sensor, tank shape and calibration. We calibrate to your vehicles and explain expected accuracy up front.

We advise on sensor options and compatibility for your tanks and vehicles during the quote.

Yes — sudden drops consistent with siphoning trigger instant alerts and appear as anomalies in your graphs.

Idling, poor routing, over-speeding and mechanical issues all waste fuel; monitoring together with tracking helps you see and reduce all of them.

Most diesel tanks can take a sensor. We confirm compatibility and the accuracy you can expect for your specific vehicles first.
