Help – Fuel Purchases

Use this screen to enter your fuel purchases.

IFTA does not require you to report your fuel purchases on a daily basis. If you prefer, you can make a single entry once a month for each piece of Equipment. We recommend entering your fuel purchases as often as possible if you are doing them manually.
