1. A fracking sensor probe for detecting the level of fuel maintained in the fuel tank of a fracking truck, the fuel tank having a fuel inlet, comprising:
a sensor probe provided for insertion into the fuel tank of a fracking truck, said sensor probe having an outer spout, said sensor probe having an inner housing, said inner housing extending through said outer spout and being concentrically arranged therein;
a cap provided at the upper end of said outer spout and inner housing, said cap capable of being connected to the fuel inlet for the fuel tank;
an adapter securing to said cap, said outer spout securing to one of said adapter and cap, and said inner housing securing to said adapter;
there being a fuel flow path through said adapter, and said fuel flow path extending between said inner housing and outer spout;
at least one fuel sensor provided within said inner housing and provided for detecting the fuel level when the fuel sensor is at the level of fuel in the fuel tank;
an electric line connecting to said fuel sensor and said electric line provided through the said adapter for delivery of information remotely regarding the fuel level within the fuel tank of the fracking truck and initiating delivery of fuel to said fuel tank to replenish fuel supply to the fracking truck.
