Hello Team Asobo, Did you know, you have no Center1 tank quantity for setting
fuel amount readings in the Garmins? For instance, you have FUEL RIGHT
QUANTITY and FUEL LEFT QUANTITY, but not FUEL CENTER1 QUANTITY, etc. RonH did
find a way to use this; FUEL SELECTED QUANTITY:6 This (above) shows an active
fuel selector ‘tank’ which :6 is Center1. At least a Center1 might come in
handy for people using the Garmins, setting them in the panel.xml files, to
show a proper readout, whether selected (active) or not. Just thought I would
let you know. I know you all are under a great work load. God bless, Bill

Hello @lyonhaart001 I think the simvar you’re looking for is FUEL TANK
CENTER QUANTITY @DA40CGDFQ Our apologies, the doc is wrong about the index.
The index is not used to identify the tank directly but the selector. When
using the legacy fuel system, this simvar will return the quantity of fuel in
the tank pointed by the selector you chose with the index. If passing an index
higher than the number of selector or using the new fuel system, it will
return the total fuel quantity. @Nocturne We want to fix that in the doc.
