What is the MB Energy OilFox?

The MB Energy OilFox is a digital level gauge for heating oil and storage tanks. The system consists of a sensor, which is installed directly on the tank, and an app, via which all relevant data can be called up at any time.

After installation, the sensor continuously measures the fill level in the tank. Depending on the version, this is done using ultrasound, radar or pressure measurement. Based on these measured values, the available liter volume and the remaining range are calculated.

The data is transmitted in encrypted form and clearly displayed in the app. Users not only see the current fill level, but also consumption trends and developments over time.

OilFox therefore completely replaces manual measurement and creates a transparent database for planning repeat orders and ongoing operation.

Product variants

All variants provide identical evaluation functions in the app, but differ in their measuring principle and area of application.

OilFox Ultrasound

Standard solution for classic heating oil tanks.
Non-contact measurement, simple installation and suitable for most applications in the private sector.

OilFox Radar

For more demanding environments with increased measurement accuracy requirements.
Stable under difficult measuring conditions such as uneven surfaces.

OilFox pressure sensor

For special tank shapes or installation situations in which other measuring methods cannot be used optimally.
Direct measurement via pressure conditions in the tank.

Typical applications

The OilFox is used wherever fill levels need to be reliably monitored and consumption data evaluated.

Private household

Private household

Homeowners can keep an eye on their heating oil level at all times and can plan repeat orders better - without manual checks in the tank room.

Commercial use

Commercial use

Companies with their own tank farm receive a transparent database for consumption and range, which simplifies operational planning.

Agricultural businesses

Agricultural businesses

Continuous monitoring helps to identify bottlenecks at an early stage, especially during seasonal peaks in consumption.

Tanks that are difficult to access

Tanks that are difficult to access

The compact design enables easy integration in the case of low ceilings or tanks that are difficult to reach.

Advantages of OilFox

Transparency about the tank contents

All relevant data can be called up at any time. The current fill level, consumption and range are clearly displayed so that you can make informed decisions.

Plannable reordering

Thanks to the continuous consumption analysis, you can recognize at an early stage when a subsequent delivery makes sense. This reduces spontaneous orders and improves planning.

Mobile access

Whether on site or on the move - all data is available via the app. You retain control regardless of your location.

Automated monitoring

Warning messages provide timely information about low fill levels. This prevents the system from running empty.

Simple installation

The sensor can be installed in just a few minutes and is immediately ready for use. No complex interventions in the existing infrastructure are required.

Delivery and supply

The OilFox is supplied as a compact unit and is designed for direct installation on the existing tank. After installation, commissioning is carried out via the app so that the system can be used without any complex set-up.

Data transmission is permanent and automated. This creates a continuous database that is available independently of manual checks.

The combination of sensor technology and app creates a stable solution for continuous monitoring - for both private and commercial use.

Digital consumption analysis as a basis for decision-making

Understanding energy clearly

The OilFox provides a comprehensible data basis for energy consumption. Instead of selective measurements, continuous values are available that make trends visible.

This transparency helps both households and companies to better classify their own consumption and make decisions based on real data.

FAQ

How accurately does the OilFox measure the fill level?

Depending on the model, the measurement is carried out using ultrasound, radar or pressure. The sensor continuously records the fill level in the tank and transmits these values automatically. The available liters and the remaining range are calculated on this basis. The measurement runs continuously in the background and is evaluated in the app without manual intervention.

Is the installation time-consuming?

No, the installation is deliberately kept simple. The sensor is mounted directly on the tank and is ready for use in just a few minutes. No complex technical adjustments or interventions in existing systems are required. After installation, the system is set up via the app so that it can be used quickly and without additional effort.

Can I also view the data on the move?

Yes, all relevant data is available on the move at all times. You can use the app to access the current fill level, consumption data and range regardless of your location. This allows you to keep an eye on your tank even when you are on the road and react in good time if necessary without having to be on site.

Which devices are supported?

The data can be accessed via mobile devices with an iOS or Android operating system. The app is designed so that it can be used on standard smartphones and tablets. This means that the evaluation of your tank data is available to you flexibly on different devices.

How secure is my data?

The transmission of measurement data is encrypted and complies with current security standards. This means that your tank data is protected both during transmission and storage. Access is exclusively via the app, so you retain control of your data at all times.

For which tanks is the OilFox suitable?

The OilFox is suitable for most heating oil and storage tanks. Which variant is used depends on the tank shape, installation situation and measurement requirements. The system can be adapted to different conditions using different measuring methods such as ultrasound, radar or pressure.

Are there warning messages when the fill level is low?

Yes, the system automatically informs you when defined fill level thresholds are reached. These warning messages help you to react to falling tank levels in good time. This makes it easier to plan reordering and prevent the system from running empty without having to check the tank manually.

Can I analyze my consumption?

Yes, the app displays consumption data clearly and shows trends over time. This allows you to understand how your energy consumption is changing. This database helps you to better assess your own requirements and plan future orders in a more targeted manner.
