All Insights with Forguard About Fuel Level

Efficient fuel management is crucial for both individuals and businesses. Whether you’re managing a small fleet or monitoring a personal vehicle, understanding fuel levels and consumption can lead to significant cost savings and improved operational efficiency.

Forguard, designed as an easy-to-use application with basic GPS monitoring functionality, enables you to access fuel data sent by your GPS tracking device if it’s connected to compatible fuel sensors. However, keep in mind that Forguard displays only the information that your GPS tracker provides.

How Forguard Works with Fuel Monitoring

Forguard displays the fuel data sent by your GPS tracking device. To enable this functionality, your GPS tracker must be linked to compatible fuel sensors. With this setup, Forguard offers:

• Real-Time Fuel Monitoring
  Access the current fuel level as reported by your tracker.
• Detailed Consumption Data
  Analyze fuel usage per trip for better insights.
• Trip-Based Analysis
  Combine trip history with fuel data to pinpoint high-consumption routes or inefficient driving behaviors.

How to Reduce Fuel Costs with Forguard

Reducing fuel expenses starts with a clear understanding of your vehicle’s fuel usage. Here’s how Forguard helps:

1. Connect Fuel Sensors
   Ensure your GPS tracker is linked with compatible fuel sensors to display accurate fuel data.
2. Analyze Trip History
   Review trip patterns that cause higher fuel consumption, such as frequent stops or detours. Optimize routes to reduce waste.
3. Monitor Speed
   Excessive speed increases fuel consumption. Use Forguard to monitor and promote steady driving habits that save fuel.
4. Compare Fuel Trends
   Track and compare fuel usage across trips or vehicles to identify inefficiencies over time.
