Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for real-time detection of fuel quantity fraud and fuel adulteration using a multi-sensor-based approach. The system comprises a flow sensor for measuring dispensed fuel, a fuel level sensing unit for monitoring tank variations, a capacitive sensor for detecting dielectric changes, and a temperature sensor for compensation. A user input interface, such as a keypad, provides transaction data. A processing unit, preferably based on an microcontroller, receives and processes sensor inputs to compute expected and actual fuel quantities and to analyze fuel properties. The system employs cross- verification between flow and level measurements to detect anomalies such as under-dispensing, leakage, and unauthorized withdrawal. Adulteration is identified based on deviations in dielectric characteristics. A communication module transmits real-time alerts and data to a remote interface. The invention enables continuous monitoring and improves fuel integrity through integrated detection.
