Recently, many industrial companies, farms, universities, remote projects and others needed to use Power Generators (Fossil Fuel Engines), It is difficult in some cases to know the status of the Generator (whether it ON or OFF?), the average of fuel discharging currently and it’s motor efficiency statues needed to be estimated. In addition, to measuring the fuel spend in the main tank of that institution. There are many methods for measuring fuel discharging, but in this case, the most basic way that has a very good impact and big challenges comparing with manual observations. A Flow Meter Sensor (YF-S201) correlated by Arduino microcontroller “1” which used as a master. For checking the strategical fuel tank, a waterproof ultrasonic sensor (JSN-SR04T) has been used. The collected data transmitted by transmitting chip (RS-485) to second Arduino microcontroller “2” which used as a slave that plugged by serial port into the computer, as well as for transmit the information into the database. The data was remotely viewed by web as a report through Public IP. This research has shown that the method of digital monitoring for fuel discharges was more accurate, safer than manual monitoring and explain how the remote observations give a good impact for the workers.
