% of Full Tank
If you have registered the tank capacity of vehicles in Pulpo and perform full-tank refueling, the system will automatically calculate the fill percentage after each fuel load.
✔ If the tank capacity is configured, you will see the % of the tank filled for each refueling.
✔ If the tank capacity is not set, this field will show 0%.
Fuel Module Alerts
Pulpo generates automatic alerts when suspicious or abnormal fuel loads are detected. These alerts are activated in the General Settings and help identify potential irregularities in fuel consumption.
Available Alert Types
⚠ Fuel type different from the one registered for the vehicle
⚠ Refueling on weekends
⚠ Premium fuel load
⚠ Two or more fuel loads within less than 10 minutes

If any of these situations occur, you will receive an alert so you can take corrective action and prevent fraud or errors in fuel records.
