 +====== Converting fuel units ======
  
 +[{{ :updates:conversion1.jpg?200|Fuel units conversion option in the JL}}]
 +Fuel values may be converted from **litres** or **gallons** to selected default fuel units (either kgs or lbs - which are initially set in the section Settings > Fleet for each aircraft individually) by the use of the following format:
 +
 +**QUANTITY[UNIT[@TEMP[TEMPUNIT][FUELTYPE]]]**
 +
 +  * **UNIT**: L, USGAL or UKGAL
 +  * **TEMP**: @number (of degrees)
 +  * **TEMPUNIT**: C - Celsius or F - Fahrenheit (if no unit added Leon will use Celsius)
 +  * **FUELTYPE**: J - Jet or A - Avgas (if no type added Leon will use Jet)
 +
 +Examples of correct inputs (display effect in brackets):
 +
 +  * 3000 (3000kg)
 +  * 3000L (2447kg)
 +  * 3000L@24 (2426kg)
 +  * 3000USGAL@86F (9134kg)
 +  * 3000UKGAL@67FA (9421kg)
 +
 +The calculations take into account the change of fuel density along with the outside **temperature** during refueling.
 +In case only the volume unit is provided, Leon will do the conversion using default values of 15 degrees C for temperature and J for fuel type. 
 +
 +<box> **It is important to remember the values inserted in the above format will be automatically converted to mass units, no display in litres or gallons is available in the Journey Log.**</box>
 +
 +This option is only available in the SCHEDULE section of Leon.
