Connext fuel usage reading

[Neutron]

I was looking at my total fuel used on the info screen and saw that each individual engine stops at 99.9 gallons of fuel.
Why so little the combined was only 199.8
Why wouldnt it keep counting?
Makes no sense to me so that you cant go beyond 99.9 gallons per engine

I noticed that on mine last season and was wondering if it was just a glitch with my system.

Kinda dumb if ya ask me.
Should be a lot more

I zero mine out after every refuel, so I dont need the big numbers. This gives me a much better idea of fuel remaining, and how much fuel I need to top off.

Reset whenever refueling, that's my MO. The only way to know how much you have left in the tank. The fuel gauge is pretty much useless.

Now - once they start putting twin SVHOs into those hulls - you are gonna need a bigger fuel gauge!

I rezero mine as well.

My main screen show's my total consumption almost a 700 gallons...

I zero mine out after I fill up. I filled up my boat the first time I took it out two times after that. When I put it on the trailer my gas gauge was reading 0%. I went to gallons used and it only showed me using 41 gallons. When I filled up I only put about 41 gallons in. So I agree the fuel gauge is useless

Wow, that 2017 paint job is sick! Very nice.

Thank you

The last three times I filled up, the gas pump stop so I figured it was full. The first two times it was only reading 95% full. Today I filled up and when we got the boat in the water the gas gauge read 78%. This is really starting to make me mad the pump stops I assume I'm full. Anybody else having this problem? I have 2017 AR240

I fill mine slow for the last 10 gallons and it gets 100% everytime.
I do point the nozzle forward though

How far do you put the nozzle in the gas tank. Some things I do like about the Kinect system but the gas reading I hate

 

[Neutron]

I stick the nozzle in all of the way

Ok that's what I been doing. I will try tilting it

Not to be smart aleck, but some of the stations around have a $80 limit. Can be confusing, happened to me a couple of times - the pump stops, as if when full. Except it isn't. It needs to be restarted with new payment. Kind of annoying.
I'm sure this is not your issue, but just throwing it out there, as I have fallen for that couple times.

I wish that was the problem. Each Philip was below $80. Like yesterday the boat only took 8 gallons and the pump shut down. I guess I will just have to climb up in the boat and check how full it is. It will be annoying but when I fill up I want to make sure I'm at a hundred percent.

Okay, here is another low tech idea, something I would do. Follow the gallons used to mentally "calibrate" the gauge, I have not heard of anyone here having an off reading of those in Connext. I would literally take a picture with a phone to keep records - when in doubt. You should be able to put back in what you burned.
Those Yammies are not known to choke up on filling up, so if yours is really doing that you would want to know why.

I used to have a similar issue. Difficult to add fuel without constant shut off's despite not being even close to full. I loosened the vent cap-bolt (right next to the fill cap) just a fraction and now I very rarely get the clicking off/chocking up issue until she's nearly full. The I pause and go again for a final click. Always 100% now.
Only time she still gets fussy is when the pump is very fast, like almost semi truck-stop fast.
