MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521106838 A) filed by Parag Upendra Bhalchandra; Suvarna Parag Bhalchandra; and Kabir Parag Bhalchandra, Nanded, Maharashtra, on Nov. 4, 2025, for 'portable sensor-based device for fuel quality and volume authentication and contaminant mitigation during vehicle refuelling.'
Inventor(s) include Parag Upendra Bhalchandra; Suvarna Parag Bhalchandra; and Kabir Parag Bhalchandra.
The application for the patent was published on Dec. 12, under issue no. 50/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a method (200) for validating and conditioning fuel dispensed from a fuel dispenser nozzle (101) into a vehicle fuel tank (103) through a portable device (102). The method comprises detachably connecting (202) the device between the nozzle and tank, directing (204) fuel through a defined fuel flow path (106) within a housing (104), and measuring (206) the real-time fuel quantity using a volumetric flow sensor (108). One or more secondary sensors (110-1...110-N) analyze (208) chemical characteristics and detect contaminants. A processing unit (112) employing an AI-based model (210) compares detected parameters with stored authentic fuel signatures to generate an authenticity indication. The method further includes filtering particulates, activating a self-sterilization unit post-refueling, and displaying and transmitting the results digitally. The invention ensures accurate fuel quantity verification, real-time adulteration detection, and transparent data logging for consumer assurance and quality compliance."
