A fuel bowser (also called a refueler) is a mobile or fixed vehicle / tank used to dispense fuel to other vehicles or equipment. In an Omnicomm monitoring setup, a bowser is equipped with fuel-level sensors, telemetry, and possibly flow meters to provide accurate data on fuel dispensing, fuel remaining, and fuel losses. This helps fleet operators maintain tight control of fuel operations and reduce losses.

This configuration covers mobile fuel-delivery units (fuel bowsers / tankers) that transport and dispense fuel to vehicles and equipment, with integrated fuel-level sensing, dispensing control, and full telemetry — enabling accurate tracking of fuel issuance, delivery volumes, equipment location, and fuel balance across fleet and stationary storage. It’s suitable for industrial fleets, construction/mining sites, remote operations, and any scenario where fuel is delivered from a tanker rather than a fixed station.

Typical Equipment Configuration:

	OMNICOMM LLS-Ex 5 is the explosion-proof variant of the OMNICOMM LLS 5, designed for use in large tanks and facilities with stringent safety requirements — such as fuel storage depots, gas stations, and bowsers.​ This device must always be operated in conjunction with the BIS-MX power protection unit, installed in a safe zone.​ Certified by ATEX, the LLS-Ex 5 is approved for use in hazardous environments where flammable substances pose an explosion risk. Its robust design ensures compliance with safety standards across multiple industries, safeguarding both personnel and infrastructure.​
	KTZ-MX is the extension cable, with options from 10-15-20 meters, to connect LLS-Ex 5 (located in hazardous area) to BIS-MX (located in the safe zone).
	OMNICOMM Profi is a high-tech GPS-tracker designed for use in challenging environments. It is ideal for vehicles operating under extreme conditions, including construction and agricultural machinery, mining equipment, and heavy-duty vehicles. With IP54 protection, Profi ensures reliable navigation and monitoring, delivering accurate data even in the most remote locations.​ Using OMNICOMM Profi in heavy industries allows efficient tracking of machinery even under the most demanding conditions. Integrated with the OMNICOMM Online platform, this solution provides full fleet control, enhancing productivity and reducing risks. Its durable and reliable construction ensures stable operation even in the harshest environments, maintaining connectivity and supporting real-time processes.
	OMNICOMM ICON is a modern multifunctional display designed to show key vehicle performance parameters in real time. ICON provides drivers with timely and clear information, improving control over fuel consumption, speed, engine operating modes, and other critical indicators. The display integrates with the vehicle monitoring system, optimizing equipment use and enhancing safety. ICON is used together with OMNICOMM GPS trackers and/or up to 4 LLS digital fuel level sensors and reads the data through the RS-485 digital interface.​ ICON helps transport and logistics companies monitor vehicle operation, reduce fuel costs, and prevent emergencies.

This configuration provides a comprehensive toolkit for managing a mobile refueling operation, ensuring transparency from fuel intake to delivery and issuing, under telemetry control.

Key Advantages and Strengths:

• The system uses certified, high-precision digital sensors (LLS series) — not simple float-gauges — giving far better accuracy and reliability, reducing errors even under motion, sloshing, or varying fuel types.
• Full integration of fuel-level sensing + dispensing metering + telematics + cloud-based logging — offers end-to-end visibility, from fuel storage → tanker → customer vehicle — with minimal manual intervention.
• Safety components (spark-protection units, explosion-protected sensors) make it suitable even when handling flammable fuels, enabling compliance with safety regulations.
• Flexibility and scalability — works for small single-tanker bowsers or large multi-compartment tankers; allows addition of more sensors, flow meters, driver-authentication, telemetry — adapting to business growth or changing operational needs.
• Automated reporting — fuel dispensing logs, fuel balance, deviations, fueling history — reduce administrative overhead, support audit/fuel card reconciliation, help detect theft or inefficiencies.
