Fuel Gauges

A maximum of two fuel gauges, an upper gauge and a lower gauge, appear above and below the speedometer

in the center of the Fuel Gauges page. You must have fuel level sensors in your fuel tanks or a fuel flow sensor

to capture the data shown in the fuel gauges.
If you use only a fuel flow sensor, the amount of fuel onboard is the estimated fuel level, and it is based on the

total tank size, the recorded amount of fuel in the tanks, and the fuel flow rate.
The number and configuration of fuel gauges that appear is based on the number and type of onboard fuel data

sensors, as shown below.
