i. Select Set all tanks full .
2. For all subsequent fueling, either:
i. Select Add partial fill and enter the volume of fuel you filled the tank(s) with.
ii. Select Set all tanks full if you filled the tank(s) to maximum capacity.
Important: If you enter the wrong amount of fuel this can be corrected by entering a minus value
as a partial fuel fill, this will reduce the total amount of fuel remaining by the amount entered.
The fuel manager is now calibrated and capable of providing fuel usage estimates.
