NAVMAN

Calibrate petrol/gasoline fuel flow sensors
during installation, or if the fuel readings seem
inaccurate and the other troubleshooting
suggestions do not help (see appendix B
troubleshooting).
Note

SmartCraft fuel sensors and Navman diesel

sensors are factory calibrated and should
never need recalibrating.

On a multi engine boat, calibrate each

engine’s sensor. This can be done at the
same time with a portable tank for each
engine or at different times using one
portable tank.

Calibrating a sensor requires accurate

measurement of the fuel consumption.
This is best done using a small portable
tank. At least 4 gallons (15 litres) of fuel
should be used to ensure an accurate
calibration.

It is often very difficult to fill underfloor

tanks to the same level twice due to air
pockets, so the more fuel used, the more
accurate the calibration.

10-7 Calibration

To calibrate the sensor(s):
1 Record the level of the fuel in the tank(s).
2 Connect the portable tank(s) to the engine

through the fuel sensor(s).

3 Run the engine at normal cruising speed

until at least 4 gallons (15 litres) of fuel has
been used per engine.

4 Check the actual amount of fuel used per

engine by refilling the portable tank(s) to
the original level and noting the reading(s)
of the fuel dispenser’s gauge.

5 Press

one or more times to display

the Setup menu, select

Fuel then select

Setup engines.

6 On a single engine boat, select

Calibrate and change the displayed

value to be equal to the reading of the fuel
dispenser’s gauge, then press

.

On a multi-engine boat select the engine.
Select

Calibrate and change the

displayed value to be equal to the reading
of the fuel dispenser’s gauge, then press

. Repeat for the other engines.
