The development of technology so fast especially in the field of mechatronics.
Everything has changed to be automated to make things easier for people to do things.
In this thesis, the authors develops a low cost and simple monitoring and control system for gasoline fuel tank content level in gas station by using Arduino microcontroller. Output of the system can be read in an LCD that attached in Arduino microcontroller and also can be read and access in a certain IP address via the Internet network with thingspeak.com. The proposed monitoring and control system can be used to monitor, control and evaluate gasoline fuel level tank at anytime and anywhere as long as the internet access available. It can be used to evaluate the daily gasoline fuel consumption so that the owner can do the right planning for supply and procurement to prevent out of stock in the tank.
Keyword : Monitoring, Fuel, Tank, Level, Internet.

DEDICATION
I dedicate this essay to my family: my mother, my father, my sister and to ATMI Cikarang as a supporter of my work.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I would like to thank the staff of Swiss German University who have supported in all my learning activities in any form of support. And all their efforts, especially for the professors who guide me very well. Dr. Ir. Hanny J. Berchmans, MT., M.Sc. was very helpful in my hardware design. Patience and guidance made my spirit amid my confusion. Always strengthen and convince me of my abilities. And Dr. Cand. Aulia Arif Iskandar, S.T., M.T. was my reference and my amplifier in designing my reports and proposals. Both advisors has motivated me. I began to discover a new world here, to develop myself in this and the development of the science curriculum in the face of the demands of the moment.
