The system
An Arduino UNO runs the algorithm. It reads a capacitive fuel sensor on the tank and switches the pump and heater through relays. A voltage converter powers the electronics from the 12 V supply.
Refined with the client
We worked through the requirements with the client in meetings, then debugged the circuit and refined the algorithm based on their feedback.
