8.1 Fuel manager overview The fuel manager feature displays essential data about the fuel of your vessel. Fuel manager estimates the amount of fuel onboard, based on you logging each time you fill up, the total fuel capacity, and how much fuel is burned by the engine(s). This data is used to estimate the distance and time until fuel depletion.
– Total Fuel Capacity — Specify the total fuel capacity of your fuel tanks. – Fuel Calculations — Switch fuel calculation between Fuel Used (Trip) and Fuel flow rate. – Detect fuel messages — Scans the system for available, supported fuel related messages. 8.3 Setting up the fuel manager The Fuel manager requires setting up before it can be used.
Fuel manager will now calculate fuel estimates based on the chosen variable. 8.6 Using Fuel manager Once fuel manager has been set up it provides fuel estimates.
