If you’re storing and managing bulk fuel, one of the most critical tools you need is a tank gauge system. These systems provide real-time visibility into your fuel levels, helping prevent theft, reduce waste and improve operational efficiency.
In this article, we’ll explore:
- What a tank gauge system is
- Why fuel tank gauges are essential for businesses
- The benefits of real-time tank monitoring
- Jigsaw Fuel Management’s range of fuel tank gauge systems
What Is a Tank Gauge System?
A tank gauge system is a monitoring device that measures and reports the fuel level in your storage tank. Modern fuel tank gauges are web-connected and provide accurate, live data on how much fuel you have, helping you plan deliveries, avoid shortages and detect issues like leaks or theft.
Why Do You Need a Fuel Tank Gauge System?
Whether you’re running a transport fleet, managing plant fuel on construction sites, or operating a commercial depot, a reliable tank gauge system is essential. Here’s why:
- Prevent Fuel Theft & Loss
Fuel theft is a real concern. A smart tank gauge system alerts you to abnormal drops in fuel level, helping you spot unauthorised usage or leakage before it becomes a costly issue.
- Accurate Stock Control
Manual dipsticks are time-consuming and inaccurate. With automated fuel level monitoring, you can see exactly how much fuel is available — and when you’ll need more — across one or multiple locations.
- Reduce Environmental Risk
Leaks don’t just mean lost revenue — they can also lead to environmental fines and safety risks. Our fuel tank gauge systems help you detect issues early and stay compliant.
- Save Time and Cut Admin
Tank gauges reduce the need for manual checks, freeing up staff time and improving reporting accuracy. Combined with fuel management software, you get a full audit trail.
