Abstract
This project is a solution to the problem of base station site shutdown due to extensive load
shedding and complete consumption of standby generator fuel. The primary task was to measure
the fuel level in a tank through an ultrasonic transducer, which is interfaced with an 8052 microcontroller.
This fuel level is then transmitted via SMS using GSM module to3 cell phone
numbers. If the fuel level falls below certain critical level it generate additional SMS to
concerned person of base station site as well as the SMS to the cell phone in the control room.
The system has been successfully designed and it does not only prevent abrupt site shutdown but
the revenue losses to the cellular operator due to abrupt site shutdown are also eliminated. This
system can be implemented in various industries for wireless fuel level monitoring.
