I would like to see the option to have the fuel tank switching reminder alert retain it's information across power cycles. I find the alert very useful in keeping a balanced fuel load. On cross country flights I fill fuel tanks completely at each stop as long as useful load permits. On other flights the duration of each leg can vary quite a bit and it would be great if we were allowed to choose whether to zero the counter for the tank switch reminder upon either shut down or power up.

I'll second that - it would be nice if it retained the alert quantity data across power cycles, and use a fuel "fill" event to zero it out.

Would make the feature much more useable without having to fill the tanks at each stop.
