Fuel and Other Tanks

Information about creating and managing your tanks and fuel.

Creating tanks for your asset allows app users to record refuelling and other tank transfers, track usage and current fuel levels.

Set up the tanks you wish to track consumption or quantities on. I.E. if you always fill two tanks together, you may only need to create one Fluid/tank item called "Fuel". If different tanks serve different purposes or equipment, it is better to create individual items.

App users are prompted to enter the plant hours of any P&E item that is set to track hours when completing a fluid log. See Setting up plant & equipment items for more information.

Setting up a tank

1. From the assets home page, select the "Maintenance" tab, then "Fluids & Tanks".

2. Select "Add Fluid/Tank Item"

   1. Give your tank a name

   2. Optionally add an image and/or a tag from your P&E Tag library

   3. Tab 3 covers the tank volume. It is important to include the total volume, as app users can select "Fill" when recording a fluid event, which sets the current volume on board to the amount recorded here.

Checking the box to "Include in total fuel on board calculation" means that the current volume in this tank contributes to the total fuel on board figure displayed in the app. There can only be one Total fuel on board figure, which is why this check box is optional.
