How to Set up a New Truck/Tank

These are the steps to set up a new tank or truck.

2. In the upper right-hand side, click on the ‘New Tank’ button

3. A screen called ‘Tank’ will appear.

Note: Everything marked with an asterisk is a required field.

4. Enter a Name and a Short Name. It is up to you how you want to set the names. (We recommend keeping them as short but accurately descriptive as possible.)

Example:

5. Select the tank/truck capabilities.

Can Dispense = create fuel tickets

Can Defuel = create a defuel operations

Can fuel Load = to list the warehouse when receiving a fuel load

6. Select the Fuel Type

7. Next, select the Tank Type

8. Select the Fuel Farm (Any external fuel farms will also be listed in this drop-down)

9. In the Description field, you can enter a description for the tank/truck or leave it blank – this field is optional.

10. Next, enter the Capacity for the tank/truck you are creating.

11. If the fuel type is set to Jet A, an Additive drop-down box will appear and you will then need to select the Additive status for that tank/truck.

12. The Register ID field is to enter the name or number associated with the TCS Hub or Cloud Connect.

13. Click on Create meter

This will open fields to enter your meter(s) information. For the Name and Short Name, you’ll need to list the name of the truck or tank (depending on which one you are setting up). We recommend listing the meter number after the name, like in this example, or identifying them as left and right meters.

14. Enter your current meter number in the Current Meters field.

Note: This is also the field you will refer back to if you ever have a discrepancy with your meter numbers and need to update them.

15. If your location has tanks that share the same meter, you can link them using the Link Existing Meter section so the meter numbers always remain accurate.

17. If your FBO fuels the fuel trucks by selecting Create Equipment, it will record this truck to complete a GSE operation.

18. For trucks, edit from the E-ticket section to set up primary and secondary meters. This step helps to record correctly rear/front meters using SinglePoint and Cloud Connects:

Congrats! Now you are done setting up your new tank/truck! 🙂
