Fuel Stops is not correct

[Canuck53]

I have read through the various posts on fuel stop calculations. None appear to cover my issue.

I have my low fuel set at 30%.

I have 3 stops and at each stops the fuel amount keeps going down.

The third stop I have about 40% fuel left but I’m getting a low fuel warning before I get to that stop?

Thoughts?

Thanks

When you set your low fuel warning level, are you setting it as an actual number of gallons remaining? You can determine what that number should be by calculating a percentage of your total fuel capacity, but the number that you use for the fuel warning should be an actual number of gallons. Is that the way you're doing the calculation? It would also be helpful to know what your fuel capacity is in gallons and what you have determined your fuel warning number should be, also in gallons..

I have 150 gal low fuel at 40 gal.

At a stop I have 97 gala leaving and the next stop shows 64 gals left. I have a low fuel between the 97 gal stop and the 64 gal stop.

I have multiple fuel warnings chosen? Should I pick just 1? What does multiple mean?

Yes, my recommendation is to set the warning to a single one. That way you can plan your gas stop sequentially from start all the way through to finish. Each time you fill up, you reset the calculation.

Try doing that first before you get too much into understanding where the warning is showing up currently. After you do that, the way it should work is that it will warn when your arrival fuel is less than your warning level. Check that out, and if it's giving you an erroneous warning, then I would send a message to the help desk.

When I set it to single it makes sense. The multiple gives earlier warnings I guess.
