Fuel Management

[bradleyj]

I'm considering installing Lowrance NMEA2000 fuel flow sensors (EP-60R) and integrating them into my e125-based system. I have twin outboards so I would install two sensors; one for each motor. I have three fuel tanks; Stbd, Mid, and Port and I operate in two different configurations:

1. Stbd and Port motors each drawing from the Stbd and Port tanks respectively.
2. Stbd and Port motors both drawing from the Mid tank.

The Lighthouse II manual states that the system can be configured for a many as five fuel tanks. I have set mine up for three. However, the manual does not describe how to set the volume for each individual tank. There only seems to be a single setting for total fuel volume. Is it not possible to set fuel volumes for individual tanks? My goal here is for the system to estimate remaining fuel in each individual tank, not just total remaining fuel onboard. Is the Raymarine system capable of this? If so, is there documentation describing how to set the system up to do so?
