List of the Fuel System field definitions:

• Status: Ready indicates the associated generators are not running and Active indicates the associated generators are running.
  
• System Time On Hand: All Gens: (How long COULD we sustain total demand?)  This is an estimation of the amount of time this fuel system can sustain ALL generators if they were to run at the present TOTAL load demand.
  
• Under Current Usage: Running Gens: (How long can we continue?)  This is an estimation of the amount of time this fuel system can sustain the generators that are presently running at the present GENERATOR load demand.
  
• Fuel Gauge: This represents the fuel level (gals) of all tanks combined.
  
• Total Fuel: The total fuel level (gals) of all tanks combined.
  
• Total Capacity: The fuel tank capacity for all tanks combined.
  
• Total Percent: The percent of total fuel remaining.
