Currently, fuel stations are operated manually which requires a lot of time and staff to operate all the system. Customers are defrauded while dispensing the fuel by not delivering the exact amount of fuel, and during payments, invalid notes may be exchanged. So, an automated fuel station can be a solution to all the above-stated problems. In this project, an automated fuel station is designed and implemented which can work 24/7 conveniently. An automated fuel station consists of an automated fuel dispensing system, automatic level indicator of the fuel in the storage tank, automatic vehicle washing system, smart lighting system, and automatic fire extinguisher. An automatic fuel dispensing system is realized by interfacing RFID, GSM module with Arduino microcontroller. Level indication of the fuel in the storage tank is made automatic using an ultrasonic sensor. Vehicle washing is done by spraying water controlled automatically through the movable frame. Light intensity is automatically controlled based on the surrounding ambiance light and presence/absence of a vehicle. The accidental fire in the station is handled by an automatic fire extinguisher.
