10.4.11 Fuel Management

WARNING: While Maretron fuel management products are designed to

accurate and reliable, they should be used only as aids for fuel

management and not as a replacement for traditional fuel management

techniques.

BEWARE: Conditions can quickly change that drastically affect time and

distances to empty!

NOTE: Fuel Management Alerts are operational only when the optional Fuel

Management Module and Alerts Module are licensed. Without this, you may

create fuel management components, but they will display “Not Licensed” instead

of data values.

The Distance to Empty and Time to Empty measurements are calculated based

on the conditions that are prevalent at the time. Changes in wind and current

can drastically change the Distance to Empty and Time to Empty measurements

that N2KView calculates and displays.

For example, if you are motoring 100 miles out to sea with the current, at the end

of the 100 miles, N2KView might display that you have 120 miles before you run

out of fuel. If you then turn around and start heading back to land, this time

against the current, the Distance to Empty reading may change to 80 miles.

Therefore, you must always keep in mind the direction and speed of prevailing

winds and currents. You must always remain aware that N2KView makes

Distance to Empty and Time to Empty calculations assuming that your course

and speed, and the prevailing winds and currents, and any other factors that may

affect fuel consumption will not change.
