Managing fuel is a constant balancing act between overhead costs and operational readiness, especially with the rising fuel costs. The Farmo Fuel Tank Level Monitor replaces the manual dipstick with a high-precision, hydrostatic sensor. This unit is self-contained and battery-powered, using long-range NB-IoT/Cat-M1 connectivity to work across the property without needing Wi-Fi. The sensor samples fuel levels every 15 minutes and reports every 8 hours (configurable). If it detects a ‘rapid fall’, indicating a potential leak, an open tank, or fuel theft, it bypasses its standard reporting and sends an immediate alert via email or SMS.

There must be an opening in the top of the fuel tank to facilitate the installation of the sensor. The sensor probe is lowered into the tank, while the transmitter unit is mounted externally. A 2" Y-strainer is fitted before shipment to allow easy installation on site. The sensor measures the fuel pressure, which is then converted into a depth reading and reported back as a measurement. Once activated via the Farmo App, the device transmits level data at regular intervals, triggering immediate "Rapid Fall" notifications to your smartphone the moment your reserves drop below your custom-set threshold (15cm in 15 minutes by default).

FAQs

It uses a hydrostatic sensor placed at or near the bottom of the tank. The sensor measures the water pressure, which is then converted into a depth reading and reported back as a measurement.

No.  The unit has a pre-installed NB-IoT/Cat-M1 SIM card. It operates on the same long-range cellular towers used by your mobile phone but with much better penetration through tank walls and over hills. If you have even a basic mobile signal at the tank site, the device will connect.

While the device typically reports status updates every 8 hours to save battery, it features "Edge Processing" intelligence. It "wakes up" every 15 minutes to check the level. If it detects a "Rapid Fall" (e.g., a drop of 15cm in 15 minutes) or hits your custom "Low" or “High” thresholds, it bypasses the schedule and sends an instant data update.

The battery will last 1+ years. Battery status is displayed on the App and when required, a new battery can be ordered from Farmo and installed by the customer.
