15.1 Fuel manager overview
The fuel manager provides an estimate of fuel
remaining, and the distance and time which can
be travelled before the tanks are empty. In order
to calculate these values, you must configure the
total capacity of fuel available to the engines and
log each time you add fuel. The fuel manager also
allows you to set a low fuel warning alarm which is
sounded when the vessel's estimated fuel falls below
a specified value.
The fuel manager page provides current calculation
estimates and controls to enable use of the fuel
manager feature.

In order to use the fuel manager you must:
• Connect a compatible engine interface to each
engine you wish to monitor (to provide fuel flow
rate data to the network).
• Enter the total fuel capacity of the vessel’s fuel
tanks.
• Turn on the fuel manager feature.
• Fill the fuel tanks to full.
• Select ‘All tanks full’.
• Log each subsequent fuel fill whether partial or full.
Note:
Fuel manager estimates the amount of fuel
onboard, based on the user logging each time you
fill up, the total fuel capacity, and how much fuel is
burned by the engine(s). Any incorrect entry could
dramatically affect the estimated fuel usage and
capacity which could result in a shortage of fuel.
This system is not a substitute for other types of
fuel calculations.
Total fuel onboard is an estimate and will be
inaccurate if fuel fills are not entered, or fuel is
used by other sources (e.g. generators etc.).
Estimated distance and time to empty will be
based on the fuel remaining calculation and values
do not include weather/tide effects.
You should not rely on the fuel manager
calculations for accurate voyage planning or in
emergency and safety critical situations.
