3) Fuel Level and Cost Adjustments
The Fill Up Function
The FILLUP function allows you to adjust and
enter the fuel level and cost values to help
ScanGauge maintain accurate TO EMPTY and
FUEL COST and PROFIT/LOSS computations.
During initial setup, if you are not filling the
tank to capacity, you will need to estimate the
amount of fuel in the tank.
Initial Setup
To set the tank level initially, access the FILLUP
screen and use the upper left and right function
buttons to adjust the “TANK=” value to what you
estimate is in the tank.
For instance, if your vehicle’s fuel gauge
indicates there is a half a tank of fuel, then
adjust the “TANK=” value to match 1/2 of the
tank capacity.
Using the FILLUP Screen
Use the FILLUP screen each time you put fuel
in the tank. Adjust the number shown in the
top line using the upper left and right function
buttons until the number matches the amount of
fuel you put in the tank.
You can increase the number in 10 gallon/liter
steps and decrease in 1 gallon/liter steps.
If your tank is full, press the function button next
to “+10” until the “TANK=” value is the same as
the tank capacity.
4) Using Your ScanGauge
Your ScanGauge features an easy-
to-use menu-driven design. Pushing
the button next to each selection will

Fuel Cost Screen
When you’re done adjusting the fuel, press the NEXT button to access the Fuel Cost Screen.
Use the upper left and right function buttons to adjust cost per gallon/liter, then press NEXT
to proceed.
Rate Screen
Enter your per Mile/Km reimbursement rate. This will be the combined rate for distance, fuel,
ect. For example, if you are reimbursed at $1.20 per-mile driven plus $0.75 per-mile for fuel
cost, you would adjust the top line to read $1.95. ($1.20 + $0.75 = $1.95).
You can also adjust the Rate to show $0.00. This will cause the cost base calculations to
simply show the actual cost of fuel being used.
Average Speed
The Average Speed screen simply shows you your average speed since the last time
you performed the fill-up procedure. This number is useful if you are tracking your fuel at
www.MyGauges.com
. Write this number down on your fuel receipt, so you can record it
later in your
MyGauges
account.
Helpful Hints
•
If you fill up your fuel tank with your vehicle on an incline, it can have an effect on the
amount of fuel the pump can dispense into your tank.
•
When filling your tank, let the pump shut off automatically. Do not top off.
•
To maintain the most accurate “TO EMPTY” information, it is best to fill the tank to its
capacity
•
If you have no need to track the time and distance values of the “TO EMPTY’ and “TANK”
but still want to track fuel costs, you can simply skip the FILLUP Screen by pressing NEXT
and then entering the Fuel Cost. When you’re done, press the lower right function button
next to SAVE.
