In cases where operating conditions and vehicle characteristics cause large fluctuations in fuel level, it is recommended to increase the values of refueling/drain thresholds and coarse filter value relative to default values.
In cases where operating conditions and vehicle characteristics have little effect on fuel level fluctuations, it is allowed to reduce the values of refueling/drain thresholds and coarse filter value relative to default values.

“Maximum allowable draining interruption time, sec” is the time interval in the process of draining, during which the fuel level may not drop (taking into account average fuel consumption). The default value is 30 s.
The setting of time parameter values should be done by considering the "Data collection period" value and analyzing specific areas where no drain/fill events were detected.
Quartile is the arithmetic mean of some number of points with fuel raw data before the start or after the end of fuel operation with a quarter of minimum and maximum values screened out and is used to determine the fuel level before and after refueling/draining.
