Abstract—The use of Generator has become a very common in almost every passive infrastructure companies, Industries, hospitals, Townships etc, while by using these Generators, a number of challenges are faced by the users and companies. Among all other challenges fuel stealing from the generator fuel tank has become an alarming issue as the price of the fuel is touching sky high day by day. Although many security and safety features are added but the fuel robbery is still out of control and the loss of the companies are immeasurable. So an advanced control system is designed with the PIC microcontroller which can measure the level of fuel in the fuel tank by using a high tech ultrasound sensor and store the data in to a data acquisition system.
