DIESELa
and
DIESELb
do not refer to different types of diesel fuel.
They only affect the way fuel consumption is computed and are selected
based on the way the vehicle computer reports its sensor information.
Most diesel vehicles use the
DIESELa
setting. To determine which
your diesel vehicle uses, do the following:
With
ENGINE SIZE
set,
DIESELa
chosen for fuel, the engine
warmed up to operating temperature and idling in neutral or park, select
GAUGE
and make one of the gauges show
RPM
and another show
GPH
.
Note the
GPH
value. Next, use the throttle to raise the engine
RPM
to
about 1500 RPM. If the
GPH
reading increased, you have a
DIESELa
vehicle. If the
GPH
dropped or stayed the same, you have a
DIESELb
vehicle and should change the Fuel Type to
DIESELb
.
Hybrid vehicle must choose
HYBRID
or the ScanGaugeII will go to
sleep when the engine automatically shuts off.
Propane powered vehicles should use
LPG
.
MORE>SETUP>FUEL>TANK SIZE
This selection is used to tell the ScanGaugeII how much fuel can be held
in the fuel tank. This information is available in the owners manual of
the vehicle.
< 25 GALLONS >
Tank Size SAVE>
The upper buttons can be used to adjust the value to match that of the
vehicle. The size will use
GALLONS
or
LITERS
depending on the
selection you made in the
UNITS
screen. If the size in the manual is not
in whole units, use the next lower value. For instance, if the capacity is
17.5 Gallons, use 17 Gallons. It is better indicate less fuel remaining,
than really is.
NOTE
: It is dangerous to run a vehicle out of fuel and can damage the
fuel pump. Do not rely on the fuel gauge or ScanGaugeII at low fuel
levels or low remaining distance or time.
MORE>SETUP>SPEED
Both speed and distance can be adjusted to compensate for changes in
tire size, gears, tire wear, etc..
