Fuel
Requirements
To use the fuel utility, a Navico fuel data storage device must be
fitted to the vessels NMEA 2000 network.
Calibrate
Calibration may be required to accurately match measured flow
with actual fuel flow. Access calibration from the Refuel dialog.
Calibration is only possible on Navico’s Fuel Flow sensor.
1.
Start with a full tank and run the engine as it would normally be
operated.
2.
After at least several liters (a few gallons) have been used, the
tank should be fully refilled, and the Set to full option selected.
3.
Select the Calibrate option.
4.
Set the actual amount used based on amount of fuel added to
the tank.
5.
Select OK to save settings. The Fuel K-Value should now show a
new value.
Ú
Note:
To calibrate multiple engines repeat the steps above, one
engine at a time. Alternatively, run all engines simultaneously,
and divide the Actual amount used by the number of engines.
This assumes reasonably even fuel consumption on all engines.
Ú
Note:
The Calibrate option is only available when Set to full is
selected, and a Fuel Flow is connected and set up as a source.
Ú
Note:
A maximum of 8 engines is supported using Fuel Flow
sensors.
Fuel management
Fuel settings can be found in the settings dialog.
