Have you taken a look at the Getting Started document's Fuel and DEF section? You may need to have the App calculate fuel level for you.
12.3.0 Updates: 12/19/2025
[b]Highlights:[b]
• Multi-Page Dashes
Multi-page dashes have been overhauled and improved. You now define your multi-page dash from the Customize Dash page with orientation (horizontal and/or vertical), the number of pages, and whether to show the page navigation bar. Moving a gauge out of range of your screen will no longer automatically add a page to your dash. A 'Page Number' option has been added to the Customize Gauges page to allow you to place the gauge on the appropriate dash page when defining the gauge. You can set the gauge as a template so all other gauges that you add will automatically be placed on that page. Android users no longer need to switch between drag-and-drop and page scrolling. The page navigation bar now scrolls between pages when drag-and-dropping.
• Auto Resize Page
Added a 'Auto Resize Page' button to the Customize Dash 'Resize Dash' option. This will resize the dash to fit into your tablet's screen. You can use this after downloading a dash to make it fit with no scrolling.
• App/Dash/Gauge Colors
Dash default colors are now saved in App settings. This allows you to save a particular dash's colors (Customize Dash/Dash Colors/Update App) and then update another dash with those colors (App Settings/App Colors/Update Dash). So if you see a dash in the Dash Repository that you like the colors, save your dash, download that dash, save the colors, then load your dash and update the colors.
• Audio Alerts
Added a Text-To-Speech 'Rate' option to adjust the rate (slow/fast) of the spoken text. Also added a 'Speak Message' option that will speak the alert message. This could be handy to allow you to continue driving without having to look at your tablet.
• TPMS
For those of you who are using Pressure Pro's TPMS, you can now add Graphic gauges for Tire Temp and Tire Pressure. These gauges along with their Text gauge counterparts can be designed like all other gauges with warning and danger ranges. For the Graphic gauges you can make them Circle gauges (ie. idiot gauges) and size them small enough to show all your tires. The Text gauges could then show the actual values.

It's probably because your Fire tablet is running an older version of Android that is no longer supported by the App. That's one of the reasons we no longer recommend Amazon tablets. See the Getting Started document for more information.
It looks like Google has thrown us developers a curveball with Android version 15. So far it’s only the Pixel models that have that version installed.
I’m working on a fix and hopefully will have it out in a couple of days.
