APPENDIX C. (cont)
The following table indicates categorisation of fuels according to condition.
The table below indicates fuel coefficients for the ME2100 meter for a range of fuel group types. These provide
effective averages for fuels classified under each indicated fuel group type, from A to M. Some fuels have not
been classified under any of these groups. The list provided in ME2000 Manager software indicates the fuel
group for each fuel unless the fuel is not associated with a group in which case no group is indicated.
