The "EMS-D10 Fuel Computer Page" on your website shows indications for 4 fuel tank levels. But on page 38 of the user manual "EMS-D10" it says "2 fuel level sensor inputs" only.

Is it possible to display 4 fuel levels on the EMS-D10? And if yes is the fuel level indication on the system overview page equal to the sum of both L resp. R wing tanks?

Martin,
We do support up to four fuel tanks. The L and R main tanks go into a dedicated inputs, while the two aux tanks go into our general purpose inputs. If you use resistive senders, you will need to add an extrnal resistor to support these into the GP inputs. These can be configured to be displayed on the main page, or they are always viewable in our fuel page.

There is no place that we add together fuel levels. The overview on the fuel page comes from the fuel computer, whic is based on fuel flow if you have that option. You tell us how much fuel you have in your tanks at startup,l and then we use the fuel flow to subtract from this. This gives a more accurate and redundant measure of fuel on board.

I would like to display all 4 tank levels on the "System Overview" page. As I understand this is possible with the EMS-D10: 2 main tanks (circular display) and 2 aux tanks (general purpose inputs, displayed on the right side of the main tanks level).

I have two tanks in each wing. It would be nice if it is possible to display the 4 fuel tank levels accordingly: Left outer, left inner, right inner, right outer tank. What do you think about that?

Regards
Martin

You can set up tanks 3 and 4 as the bottom right two info bars on the system overview page to give you tanks 1, 2, 3, and 4 in that order, with tanks 1 and 2 in the primary circular arrangement.

Display constaints prevent us from adding tanks 3 and 4 in the circular tank arrangement as I think you're describing.
