Petroleum is the mainstay of modern civilization. It is one of the nature's rare and valuable creations. Its formation takes millions of years and thus, it is necessary that its proper utilization must takes place. In the current scenario, petrol pumps are operated manually, comprising of a controlling unit to perform various tasks. These petrol pumps are time consuming, requires more man power, prone to malpractices and also there exist a probability of many human errors. Also, it is not possible to place petrol pumps in distant areas. The main aim of this paper is to deal with all such problems and thus, aims to develop an automated petrol dispensing system using RFID technology. Such a system enables a user to use a RFID based prepaid card to access petrol at such petrol pumps. Whenever the user wants to fill the tank from the fuel dispenser, he has to enter the amount first and then place the RFID card near the RFID reader. Then the Arduino Uno reads the data from the RFID reader and performs the action according to the customer requirements and the amount is deducted from the user's card. RFID Based Automated Petrol Pump will hence improve the existing system by reducing human work and providing an auto guided mechanism to carry out the tasks consecutively. These systems are less time-consuming and highly reliable. Keywords— RFID, Fuel Dispensing System, Arduino
