Fuel settings

The fuel utility monitors a vessel's fuel consumption. This
information is totaled to indicate trip and seasonal fuel usage, and is
used to calculate fuel economy for display on instrument pages and
the data bar.
To use the utility, a Navico Fuel Flow sensor, or a NMEA 2000 engine
adaptor cable/gateway with Navico Fuel Data Storage device must
be fitted to the vessel. The Navico Fuel Flow sensor, does not
require the use of a separate Fuel Storage device. Refer to the
engine manufacturer or dealer for information on whether or not
your engine provides a data output, and what adaptor is available to
connect to NMEA 2000.

"Network settings" on page 48.
