Advanced Fuel Level Sensor

A fuel level sensor is a high-precision device installed in a vehicle or storage tank that continuously measures fuel level, refueling volume, and consumption — the data fleets need to stop fuel theft and audit fuel spend. Pictor Mart's Strela and CLS series sensors cover wired, wired-with-Bluetooth (BLE), and fully wireless installations for trucks, buses, generators, and stationary tanks.

Which fuel sensor is right for my fleet?

  • Wired sensors (Strela D485): maximum accuracy and tamper-resistance for permanent truck installations
  • Wired + BLE sensors (Strela WS): wired precision with Bluetooth connectivity to compatible GPS trackers — simpler integration
  • Fully wireless BLE sensors (Strela WD, CLS2): one-click setup with no signal cabling — fastest installation across large fleets

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a fuel sensor detect fuel theft?
The sensor continuously reports the tank's fuel level. A sudden drop that doesn't match engine consumption signals fuel being drained — and when paired with a GPS tracker, the alert includes the exact time and location of the event.

Can a fuel level sensor work with my existing GPS tracking system?
Yes — these sensors are designed to connect to a wide range of GPS tracking devices and fleet telematics platforms via wired (RS485/analog) or Bluetooth (BLE) interfaces.

Will the sensor fit my tank?
Sensor probes come in customizable lengths and are trimmed during installation to match your tank depth, making them compatible with most truck, bus, and generator tanks.

How much can fuel monitoring save?
Fuel is typically the single largest operating cost in a commercial fleet. Accurate level and consumption data lets operators verify every fuel bill, detect pilferage immediately, and identify inefficient routes and idling — savings that usually pay back the sensor cost quickly.
