DTE provides an estimate of the number of miles before the fuel tank is Empty based upon
average miles per gallon. UltraGauge uses either the vehicle’s Fuel Level Sensor, if present via
the OBDII, or it calculates the remaining fuel by continuously tracking the amount of fuel used.
See the Fuel Sender Section for more details.
With Fuel Tank Sensor:
When a sensor is present via OBDII, UltraGauge can determine when the tank is refilled and
DTE will be updated automatically. The distance to empty is determined by the current
general average miles per gallon gauge;
Average MPG,
and the number of gallons in the fuel
tank. When a fuel level sensor is present, the DTE Gauge Range is 0 to 9999.9 miles
Without Fuel Tank Sensor:
When a fuel level sensor is not available, or the Fuel Sender Mode is set to
Manual
mode.
UltraGauge has no ability to sense the actual fuel level. It is necessary that UltraGauge be
informed each time the tank is filled. To do this, select
from the Gauge
screen
.
UltraGauge then assumes that the tank has been filled and contains the number of
gallons/liters specified under
. Selecting fuel fill-up affects gauges
DTE, TTE
and
Fuel Level
. No other gauges are affected.
NOTE:
DTE is determined by the fuel level and the average MPG. This average MPG is the
“general” MPG
If Distance traveled is less than 0.1 miles or Gallons Used is less than 0.01 Gallons,
UltraGauge will assume an MPG Average of 5 MPG.
NOTE:
Selecting fuel fill-up will not affect the
Average MPG
or
Average MPG – Trip
gauges.
NOTE:
When a fuel level sensor setting is set to
Manual
or
Auto-Fill
, the distance to empty
can become negative and the range is -9999.9 to 9999.9 miles. A negative number
indicates the number of miles traveled or gallons used since the estimated remaining
fuel reached zero gallons. There is always an amount of fuel in the tank and in the
system that the vehicle’s fuel level sensor cannot detect. Hence it is likely that the
vehicle can travel several miles beyond the point that DTE becomes zero.
NOTE:
Do not rely on this gauge until you have become comfortable with the accuracy of
UltraGauge.
