Checked against Pop Street Dispatch 0.1.0

The Fuel screen shows one asset's fuel economy, the stretches between fills, and its fills. You will be able to read economy and record a new fill.

Before you start #

You need the owner, manager, dispatcher or advisor role. Recording a fill needs a current licence with the Fleet module.

Steps #

  1. Open Fleet, then Fuel. Until you pick an asset the screen says "Choose an asset to see its records."
  2. Pick an asset. Set "Measured by" to Distance or Engine hours.
  3. Read Economy. It shows L per 100 km or L per hour. "Needs more full-tank fills" shows when there is too little data. Below it, a line says how many stretches were counted and how many left out.
  4. Read the "Fill-to-fill stretches" table: When, Volume, Economy, Counted and Note. A stretch left out names the reason, such as "An earlier fill is missing" or "Volume too small".
  5. Read the Fills table: When, Volume, Cost, Fill (Full tank or Partial) and Station.
  6. To add a fill, complete "Record a fuel fill": Volume, Total cost, Odometer, Engine hours, "Filled to full", "I missed recording the fill before this one", "Paid by" (Company, Driver or Account) and Station. Volume is required. Select "Record a fuel fill".

Result: the fill appears in the table and economy updates.

Technical details
  • Economy reads /fleet/assets/{id}/fuel/economy with the chosen basis. Fills read /fleet/assets/{id}/fuel, up to 50 rows.
  • Volume shows in litres, or gallons when your distance unit is miles.

If something goes wrong #

  • "Enter a number with up to two decimals.": fix the Volume.
  • "Enter an amount such as 12.50, using no more decimals than the currency has.": fix the Total cost.
  • Fuel costs appear in Expenses by themselves. The Fuel screen is where you record them.
