Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a new smart fuel cap and system for an improved refueling system of a vehicle. In particular, the smart fuel cap can be in communication with a user's smart phone for generating and sending a fuel order to a refuel service provider. According to some aspects, sensors of the smart fuel cap and/or the user's smart phone can be used for an input of a low fuel condition for the fuel order which can be specific to the vehicle's location. In some embodiments, the ability to determine and use the vehicle's location can be used to selectively allow access to an otherwise secure fuel cap for refueling.
