Fuel Monitoring Device and Sensor Evolution
With time passed by, our vehicle fuel consumption monitoring solution evolves, the GPS tracker hardware from UT04 to UT04s and UM777, the fuel sensor from float type fuel probe (need drill tank) to 4th generation ultrasonic fuel monitoring sensor (no need brill tank), the software from old version to current latest 3rd version. In a word, we offer more and more accurate and easy to install fuel monitoring solution to our clients. Take device and use device.
Fuel probe that need tank drilling is not 100% satisfied in market due to fatal damage to the tank though their cost is a little lower. Ultrasonic fuel level sensor becomes the main trend in market since 2019 due to its easier installation, accurate monitoring, and no damage to the tank. Below we shall compare the 4 different ultrasonic fuel level sensors.
2 Ultrasonic fuel Level sensor comparisons

Installation method | Steel or plastic ribbon, easy to go loose while driving | Base ring screw, firm. |
From above it is easy to understand the 4th version ultrasound fuel sensor is more accurate, wide measure distance, stronger penetration and easy to install.
Below is the installation manual of above mentioned ultrasonic fuel monitoring sensor, from which it is also easy to figure out which is the best for market.
1st Version Ultrasonic Fuel Monitoring Sensor-V3.0
2nd Ultrasonic Fuel Sensor Installation Manual
3rd Ultrasonic Fuel Sensor Installation V3.0
4th Ultrasonic Fuel Sensor Installation Manual V1.2 (No need complicated calibration at all)
3 The latest fuel sensor package
3rd generation (It needs troublesome calibraiton with the small black control box.)
4th generation
Does the ultrasonic fuel level sensor work with Teltonika GPS Tracker?
We have tested our sensor with Teltonika FMB125 GPS Tracker and it works excellently. You can config the sensor on Teltonika computer firmware. Choose the Sensor Model Name UL212.
