摘要:
The present invention relates to a wireless remote fuel gauge (10) comprising a tank gauge (12) positioned on a fuel tank (16A, 16B). The tank gauge (12) comprises a tank gauge microprocessor/analog converter (12A) electrically connected to a tank gauge power line (12F). A tank gauge transmitter (12B) is electrically connected to the tank gauge microprocessor/analog converter (12A). The tank gauge transmitter (12B) functions to transmit, by radio frequency, a level of fuel (18) information within the fuel tank (16A, 16B). A tank gauge indicator (12D) is mechanically connected to the tank gauge microprocessor/analog converter (12A). The tank gauge indicator (12D) functions to allow a consumer to visually monitor the level of fuel (18) within the fuel tank (16A, 16B). The tank gauge float (12G) maintains position on the level of fuel (18) within the fuel tank (16A, 16B). A remote unit (14) in radio frequency communication with the tank gauge (12) is positioned within a house (22) preferably within a hallway (22A, 22B). The remote unit (14) comprises a remote unit microprocessor (14A) electrically connected to a remote unit power line (14F). A remote unit transmitter (14B) is electrically connected to the remote unit microprocessor (14A). The remote unit transmitter (14B) functions to transmit, by wireless communication, a request for the level of fuel (18) information to the pre-existing tank gauge (12C). A remote unit receiver (14C) is electrically connected to the remote unit microprocessor (14A). The remote unit receiver (14C) functions to receive the level of fuel (18) information from the tank gauge transmitter (12B). A remote unit indicator (14D) is electrically connected to the remote unit microprocessor (14A). The remote unit indicator (14D) functions to visually exhibit the level of fuel (18) information to a user. A remote unit wireless communication means (14G) electrically connected to the remote unit microprocessor (14A). The remote unit wireless communication means (14G) functions to receive therethrough a request for the level of fuel (18) from a fuel company and transmit therethrough the level of fuel (18) to the fuel company.
