Petroleum is the foremost and mainstay of modern civilization. It is one of the nature's rare and valuable creation. Its formation takes millions of years which insist proper utilization of the resource. In present scenario, fuel stations are operated manually which consist a controlling unit to perform various tasks. The present manual fuel stations consumes more time and requires substantial man power. Moreover, it is prone to malpractices and higher probability of human initiated errors. These limitations restrict installation of fuel stations in distant areas. The main aim of this paper is to deal with all stated problems by developing an automated petrol dispensing system using RFID technology. Such a system enables a user to use a RFID based prepaid card to access petrol at fuel stations. Whenever the user wants to fill the tank from the fuel dispenser, user has to enter the amount first and then place the RFID card near the RFID reader. The Arduino Uno manages to read the data from the RFID reader and perform action according to the customer requirements as well as the amount is deducted from the user's card. The RFID and Arduino Uno are used for improvement of present petrol dispensing system by reducing human work and providing an auto guided mechanism to carry out the tasks consecutively. These systems are highly reliable and conserves the time.
