Hi Folks,

Can someone with a Garmin 296 please tell me how the fuel timer works -
whenever I set it on the gound it keeps going back to zero - I can't figure
the thing out!

Many thanks,

CC

Colin,
It does not sound like you are pressing enter after you have entered
the time. If you press the rocker key to the left twice, this will
clear the values that you have input into the field.

The timer will only start once you have reached 30knots, according to
Garmin.
