Gas Nozzle Detector

Franchising is one of the fastest growing business sector in the Philippines. According to PFA (Philippine Franchising Associate), even a sum of PHP 200,000 can serve as a start-up investment for a middle-class Filipino. With the rapid growth automobiles, Gas Station Franchise is one of the most highly searched option for franchising in the Philippines as the public needs fuel for automobiles.
Through the years, my family is into franchising gas stations. My father told me that gas station may be a good investment yet it is not easy ,since it requires a lot of expert understanding of the industry to able to manage it well and to avoid problem that may hinder the success of the franchisor. Having a good or right location,which usually a high traffic area, does not guarantee 100% success of the business. It is more than the location, the owner and his people should be hard working, have the necessary skills to perform the job well and a little luck to be successful. All business man have their own share of problems, and our problem in the business is usually misfuelling.
Accidentally putting up the wrong fuel in your costumers vehicle can lead to several situation... Customer complaint that can lead to no repeat business, hence sales lost and worse to a more expensive damage such as potential engine damage. The idea that I thought of is to create an alarm to gas nozzle in such a way it can detect the right fuel for the vehicle. The idea is a like a fire alarm, that can sense things that are related to fire that when it pass thru the chamber of the detector it will trigger the alarm. In the same way as when fueling a vehicle, the gas nozzle alarm detector can determine if the gas is the right fuel for your car. In this way, gas station owners can lessen the possibility of putting up the wrong fuel to their customers cars thus avoiding customer complaints and damage on both the customer and the gas station personnel.
