/Methods And Systems For Determining Vehicle Fuel Level
Abstract

Systems, methods, devices, and models determining fuel level in vehicles are described. Fuel tank capacity often extends beyond what can be measured by a fuel level sensor. Herein, fuel level data is augmented with fuel consumption data or fuel consumption rate to estimate a fuel level in a fuel tank when a fuel level sensor reads 100%. Fuel consumed until the fuel level sensor reads less than 100% can be added to measurable capacity of the tank to determine an initial volume of fuel in the tank.
