For this study, a flowchart was prepared of the existing manual fuel control system from which it was revealed that: (1) all transactions were manually recorded in a gasoline and oil receipt book by the pump attendant and were signed by the department vehicle operator; (2) the system required the services of a full-time pump attendant for a least two of the three daily duty shifts; and (3) each precinct was responsible for reordering its own fuel from the vendor. After a data collection effort, a number of recording errors were noted and the major system problems were identified. An automated fuel system was proposed and a pilot project was undertaken to determine the system's effectiveness. System design, specifications, configuration, and implementation are discussed in the report, and the system's cost and benefits are noted. (NTIS abstract)
