An electronic monitor is installed in your fuel tank. The monitor records the tank volume periodically and sends a signal to a controller. When your tank's level falls below a predetermined level, an order is automatically generated for a fuel delivery. Currently this program is designed for transport loads. On the 1st of every month, billing is done on the amount of fuel used.
