Hi @dmperl

I added some additional debug output to help. follow these steps:

1. Edit the file /etc/genmon/genmon.conf and add the line

   debug=True

to the bottom of the file if it is not already there, then save the file.

2. Update the software from the About page to get the very latest. Note the version number will not change.
3. Let the software update and genmon restart. Wait 1 min, the refresh the browser,
4. show the contents of the Estimated fuel in tank, etc as you did before and send your logs from the About page.

Let me know if you have any quetions.

1. turned on debug

4. Logs sent! Thank you!

At the bottom of the genmon.conf file I see: install = 2022-12-17 16:58:24.123597

Thank you again for such reliable and stable code.

I'll remove the debug flag if there is no further action required.

Honestly I don't know. I am glad it is working now. You may want to keep an eye on it. It could be a SD card starting to fail.

"SD card starting to fail"... I just created a fresh backup ;-)

genmon.conf now includes:
#debug=True

...just in case, I'll be ready for the next time.

another re-boot and all is still good.

Thanks again!!
