Patent ID: 8805592

Claim:
A method for fluid identification and tracking, comprising: determining that a vehicle is receiving a fluid by means of a mechanism that controls, measures and reports receipt of fluids; determining an ingredient of the fluid; determining a vehicle location; determining by a computing device, based on the ingredient and the vehicle location, whether receipt of the fluid is allowable; in response to determining that receipt of the fluid at the vehicle location is not allowable, performing, by a computing device, a preventative measure comprising controlling the mechanism that controls, measures and reports receipt of fluids so that no further fluids may be received by the vehicle at the location; in response to determining that receipt of the fluid at the vehicle location is allowable: determining a subsequent vehicle location; determining that the vehicle is discharging at least a portion of the fluid by means of a mechanism that controls, measures and reports discharge of fluids; determining by a computing device, based on the ingredient and the subsequent location of the vehicle, whether discharging the fluid is allowable; and in response to determining that discharging the fluid at the subsequent location of the vehicle is not allowable, performing, by a computing device, a subsequent preventative measure comprising controlling the mechanism that controls discharge of fluids so that no further fluids may be discharged from the vehicle at the location.
