# What's a Good Way to Manage Fuel Tanks and Lubricant Stock on the Farm?

A good way is to record each tank refill and each withdrawal with date, quantity, machine, and person, so the system shows the current balance and any differences between expected and actual levels. On **Jestor**, this runs through a tanks **table**, withdrawal **Forms**, and calculated balances.

Fuel stored on the farm is both valuable and easy to lose without noticing. Without records, theft, leaks, and errors cannot be detected, and costs cannot be assigned to the machines or activities that used the fuel.

## What uncontrolled fuel stock costs

- Losses from theft, leaks, or errors that go unnoticed
- Fuel costs not linked to machines or fields
- Tanks running empty during critical work
- Purchases made without knowing real consumption
- Disagreements about who withdrew what

## How fuel and lubricant control works

- Each tank is a **record** with capacity and current balance
- Refills and withdrawals are logged with machine and person
- The balance updates automatically
- Differences between measured and expected levels are flagged

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Losses become visible and traceable
- Costs can be assigned to machines and fields
- Purchases are planned from real consumption
- This scales from one tank to many across several farms

| Fuel withdrawn without records | Withdrawals logged and balanced         |
| ------------------------------ | --------------------------------------- |
| Losses unseen                  | Balance, usage, and differences visible |
