The average Nigerian relies on petroleum products (fuel) for transportation, power generation and sometimes cooking. However, purchasing fuel at the right quantity is a problem due to widespread meter tampering.

Our device, which will be retailed, accurately calculates fuel dispensed to empower buyers to check for meter tampering and give value for money when you buy petroleum products. In addition, we are developing an Analytics back-end for logistics companies to monitor (and save on) their fuel consumption.

We have tested the device and app with small groups of people and are finishing up the DFM specification.
