Abstract:
1. A tanker truck fluid level control system for monitoring and automatically controlling a level of oil in a tank of a tanker truck and thereby preventing an overfilling event, said tanker truck fluid level control system comprising: an air-operated control valve adapted to be in communication with the tank; a pump having a solenoid valve for pumping oil into the tank; a level indicating system including a float sensor for detecting a maximum capacity of the tank; a parking brake adapted to be coupled to the tanker truck; and, a main control box communicatively coupled to said parking brake and adapted to be positioned on an exterior of the tank; wherein, upon the oil reaching said float sensor and said parking brake of the tanker truck is applied, said air-operated control valve creates a positive air shutdown thereby stopping an engine of the tanker truck and operating said solenoid within said pump to discontinue oil flow into the tank; and, wherein said air-operated control valve is in electrical communication with said level indicating system.
