OK! The "new and improved" Engine Hours and Fuel Log Excel workbook is now
available for download. The old version really wasn't ready for prime time.
There have been several changes since the last version I put out. Most of
the changes were "behind the scenes". This is where having some real world
test data proved (as I knew it would) most valuable. If I had been a little
smarter I would have asked for such data first before the initial release.
Thanks again to those who sent me their data.
There are a few obvious changes including:
- It is now possible to either include or exclude generator hours from
the Gallons per Hour calculation by making a simple selection on the Fuel
Purchases sheet.
- The graph of run time has been split into two separate graphs one
for engines, one for generators. Previously all were on one graph
which sometimes got a little messy.
- Additional statistics are provided on the Summary sheet.
This new workbook has undergone quite a lot of testing and tweaking in the
last several days. I am confident that calculations are accurate but I
can't guarantee it is absolutely bug free (is ANY software bug free?) so all
the usual caveats apply. As always, please let me know if you find anything
that is clearly wrong. If there is something you don't understand, contact
me off-list and I will try to explain.
Some of you have asked that various other things be done with this workbook.
I will consider doing custom alterations/additions. If you are interested
in such work, please contact me off-list so we can discuss it.

Thanks for your interest, your feedback, and your patience. It has been an
interesting and educational exercise for me. I hope you find the workbook
valuable.
