Fuel Used Problem

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

bytebass,

Should the engine system / fuel flow monitoring device transmit PGN 127497 (Trip Fuel), then this option should be selected within the MFD's Fuel Manager and the engine system's displays/gauges alone should be used to reset fuel trip fuel data. If not, and only if not, should the Fuel Manager's option to use Fuel Flow Rate for Fuel Calculations be selected. Should one be uncertain about whether the engine system / fuel flow monitoring device transmits PGN 127497, then it is recommended that the engine system / fuel flow monitoring device's documentation or manufacturer be contacted to obtain this information. Alternatively, a NMEA 2000 analyzer (ex. PC interfaced to Actisense NGT-1 w/NMEA Reader software, etc.) be used to examine traffic on the SeaTalkng backbone (MFD(s)'s switched OFF to determine whether PGN 127497 is being transmitted to the backbone.
