Siphoning
Draining the tank while parked, usually at night or off-zone.
✓ Drop + engine off
Fuel monitoring
The diesel
stops vanishing.
Escort BLE capacitive sensors measure exact fuel volume in litres, correlated with GPS position and engine status. Siphoning, ghost refuels and suspicious drops — caught in 60 seconds.
How it works
Detect. Correlate. Alert.
01
Measure to the litre
The capacitive sensor reads real tank volume continuously — not the dashboard gauge.
02
Correlate with context
Every change is cross-checked against GPS position, engine state and time. A station refuel ≠ a drop while parked.
03
Alert in 60 s
Suspicious drop → WhatsApp alert to the manager with location, volume and vehicle. Early enough to act.
WHATSAPP ALERT IN UNDER 60 SECONDS
Every trick in the book. Caught.
Ten years of DRC fleet fraud, encoded into detection rules.
Ghost refuelling
A 200 L receipt, a tank that only gained 140. The difference is pocketed.
✓ Receipt vs measured volume
Extended idling
Engine running for hours while parked — AC, naps, or padded hour meters.
✓ Idle > threshold + litres burned
Fuel detours
Padded routes to justify consumption — or resell along the way.
✓ Route deviation + burn rate
