Abstract: This study was aimed at the design and implementation of a computer controlled fuel level monitoring system. This was achieved by designing a monitoring circuit; this monitoring circuit will measure the quantity of fuel inside a fuel tank at four different levels representing 4 sensors. If the fuel goes below the minimum level, the alarm system embedded in the circuit will be triggered. Anything above this level, the alarm will go off. As the level of fuel increases, it will display on the computer screen when it reaches a particular sensor level. When the fuel level rises to the fourth and final level which represents the maximum, the alarm will be triggered for a while before going off automatically. The monitoring circuit communicates with the computer system with the aid of an interface. A visual basic program is used to interpret the signal being sent from the device and displays the output on the computer screen.
