The tank size parameter is affected by metric mode - if metric mode is set, the tank size is displayed and entered/edited as liters. Otherwise, it's in US gallons.
Ok that was the idea I had. I do not know if it still exists pins available, but one idea was to have a pin that measures the resistance of the tank level indicator and adjusts the liters / Galon of Fuel automatically.
Example my Honda with full tank has a resistance of 5 ohms, half full 32.5 ohms, and empty 105 ohms, not all cars tenhem the same value of resistance, but I think it should be possible to find a way to calibrate the tank .
This is just an idea, if it is too complicated to try out, do not waste your time.


I will test this new update, then inform you of how it went, I'll try with AnalogButtons, to see if does not reset as did before.

Thank you
