FUEL DATA TRACKING SOLUTIONS FOR
MOBILE & STATIONARY OPERATIONS

INDUSTRY: Fuel Distribution

OEM Controls provides rugged fuel data tracking solutions for mobile fuel trucks, pickup tankers, fuel skids, fixed tanks, equipment yards, and other dispensing applications.

Connect fuel or fluid volume with asset identification, cumulative machine hours, GPS location, date, and time to create a more complete record of each fueling event.

Fuel Distribution Applications

Fuel distribution can take place from mobile service vehicles, temporary dispensing systems, fixed tanks, or centralized equipment yards. The right tracking approach depends on where fuel is dispensed, what equipment is being serviced, and what information needs to be captured.

Equipment yards

Mobile Fuel & Lube Trucks

Capture fuel dispensing activity as service trucks move between machines, jobsites, equipment yards, utility operations, and other distributed locations.

Pickup Tankers & Service Vehicles

Track fueling activity from smaller mobile tanks and service vehicles used to support equipment away from a central fueling point.

Fuel Skids & Fixed Dispensing Systems

Add fuel-data capture to skid-mounted systems, fixed tanks, bulk storage locations, and other stationary dispensing applications.

Equipment Yards & Mixed Fleets

Associate fuel transactions with individual vehicles and off-highway equipment across fleets with different operating cycles and utilization requirements.

Engineering the Right Fuel Data Tracking Solution

Fuel tracking requirements extend beyond the amount being dispensed. The appropriate solution depends on the dispensing equipment, assets, data requirements, system integration, and operating environment.

Dispensing & Measurement

Determine how fuel or fluid is being delivered and measured. Mobile trucks, fixed tanks, skid systems, and other dispensing arrangements may use different flow-meter configurations and installation requirements.

Asset & Transaction Data

Define what needs to be associated with each fueling event. Depending on the application, useful information may include fuel or fluid volume, asset identification, cumulative machine hours, GPS location, date, time, and operator identification.

Data Delivery & Integration

Determine where fueling information needs to go after it is captured. Reporting requirements may include cloud access, API connectivity, or integration into broader fleet or enterprise workflows.

Access & Security

Some applications require more than transaction visibility. Government, defense, utility, public-safety, and other controlled environments may also require operator authorization, equipment-level access control, encrypted communications, data-integrity protection, or tamper resistance.

OEM Controls can help evaluate these application requirements and determine the appropriate fuel data tracking configuration.

What Fuel Data Can Be Captured?

The value of a fueling record increases when fuel volume can be connected with the equipment and operating context surrounding the transaction.

Fuel or Fluid Dispensed

Record the measured quantity associated with the transaction.

Asset Identification

Associate the fueling event with the vehicle, machine, or equipment receiving the fuel.

Cumulative Machine Hours

Connect fuel usage with equipment operating hours where hours provide a more meaningful measure of utilization than mileage.

GPS Location

Record where fueling activity takes place across distributed operations.

Date & Time

Create a timestamped history of fueling events.

Operator or Driver Identification

For applications requiring additional access control, associate the transaction with an authorized driver or operator.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Many off-highway and stationary assets are evaluated by operating hours rather than road mileage. Associating fuel transactions with cumulative machine hours provides additional operating context for fuel records.
Yes. Fuel or fluid volume originates at the dispensing system’s measurement point. OEM Controls states that the BT40p supports multiple flow-meter configurations, so the existing dispensing hardware should be reviewed when defining the installation.
The BT40p provides fuel-data tracking for commercial mobile and stationary applications. The BT41p adds security capabilities for applications requiring controlled fueling, encrypted communications, data-integrity protection, and additional access controls.
OEM Controls fuel tracking solutions support data delivery for reporting and integration. The appropriate architecture should be reviewed against the application’s cloud, API, or enterprise-system requirements.

Fuel Tracking for Mobile and Stationary Operations

The BT40p is a rugged, Bluetooth-enabled fuel data tracker designed to capture fuel and fluid dispensing information.

Depending on the configuration, the BT40p can capture:

  • Fuel or fluid dispensed
  • Asset identification
  • Cumulative machine hours
  • GPS location
  • Date and time

The BT40p supports multiple flow-meter configurations and can be installed on mobile or stationary fueling equipment.

Application examples include fleet fuel trucks, pickup tankers, fuel and consumable skid systems, fixed tanks, bulk storage, equipment yards, construction fleets, municipal fleets, and utility operations.

Enhanced Security for Controlled Fueling Applications

The BT41p extends fuel-data tracking into applications requiring greater control over fuel access and transaction security.

In addition to fueling information, the BT41p can support controlled fueling by driver, operator, or equipment number while adding encrypted communications, data-integrity protections, and tamper-resistant features.

This creates a separate pathway for applications where fuel accountability includes both transaction visibility and controlled access.

From Fuel Transactions To Better Equipment Visibility

Fuel volume provides one piece of the operational picture.

Connecting that volume with the asset, operating hours, location, and transaction time creates a more useful record for fleet reporting, fuel accountability, billing, and operational analysis.

OEM Controls fuel data trackers are part of the broader OEM Data Delivery product family for capturing and transmitting equipment information from the field.
