Set them up in Business Setup before assigning fuel types to vehicles. ### Fuel Types are configured under **Business Setup → Vehicle & Product Settings**. Each fuel type has a code, a display name, and a unit of measure. The unit of measure controls how fuel is tracked and displayed on rental agreements and check-in screens. RentWorks+ measures fuel in eighths on the rental agreement, but the fuel type's unit of measure (gallons, liters, etc.) is used for pricing and fleet fuel settings. ##### Navigate to Fuel Types **1.** In the sidebar under **Settings**, click **Business Setup**. ![fueltypes-01](https://help.rentworksplus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KB%20Images/Fuel%20Types/fueltypes-01.webp?width=489&height=768&name=fueltypes-01.webp) **2.** In the Business Setup submenu, click **Vehicle & Product Settings**. ![fueltypes-02](https://help.rentworksplus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KB%20Images/Fuel%20Types/fueltypes-02.webp?width=475&height=768&name=fueltypes-02.webp) The page opens on the **Fuel Types** tab. Existing fuel types are listed with their Fuel Code, Fuel Name, Unit of Measure, Status, and creation date. Use the search bar to filter by code or name, or the **All Status** dropdown to filter by Active or Inactive. ![fueltypes-03](https://help.rentworksplus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KB%20Images/Fuel%20Types/fueltypes-03.webp?width=670&height=171&name=fueltypes-03.webp) ##### Create a new fuel type **3.** Click **Create Fuel Type** in the top right corner. In the **Create New Fuel Type** dialog, fill in the following fields: - **Fuel Code** — A short identifier with no spaces (e.g., `GAS`, `DIESEL`, `ELECTRIC`). The code cannot be changed after creation. - **Fuel Name** — The display name shown throughout RentWorks+ (e.g., Gasoline, Diesel, Electric). Max 50 characters. - **Unit of Measure** — How this fuel is measured. Options include US Gallons, Liters, and others. Select the unit that matches your operation. - **Status** — Leave set to **Active** so the fuel type is immediately available for vehicle assignment. Click **Create Fuel Type** to save. ![fueltypes-04](https://help.rentworksplus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KB%20Images/Fuel%20Types/fueltypes-04.webp?width=576&height=665&name=fueltypes-04.webp) ##### Edit an existing fuel type **4.** To update a fuel type, click the **pencil icon** in the **Actions** column of the entry you want to edit. ![fueltypes-05](https://help.rentworksplus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KB%20Images/Fuel%20Types/fueltypes-05.webp?width=670&height=345&name=fueltypes-05.webp) **5.** The **Edit Fuel Type** dialog opens with the existing values pre-filled. The **Fuel Code** is locked and cannot be changed after creation — update the **Fuel Name**, **Unit of Measure**, or **Status** as needed. A **Change History** panel at the bottom records who created or modified the entry and when. Click **Update Fuel Type** to save your changes. ![fueltypes-06](https://help.rentworksplus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KB%20Images/Fuel%20Types/fueltypes-06.webp?width=559&height=756&name=fueltypes-06.webp) To deactivate a fuel type without deleting it, toggle **Status** to **Inactive**. Inactive fuel types no longer appear in vehicle setup or rental flows but their history is preserved. - [FAQs & Troubleshooting](https://help.rentworksplus.com/kb/faqs-troubleshooting?hsLang=en) - [Reports](https://help.rentworksplus.com/kb/reports?hsLang=en) - [Support](https://help.rentworksplus.com/kb/support?hsLang=en) - [Counter Operations](https://help.rentworksplus.com/kb/counter-operations?hsLang=en) - [Customer Management](https://help.rentworksplus.com/kb/customer-management?hsLang=en) - [Vehicles & Fleet](https://help.rentworksplus.com/kb/vehicles-fleet?hsLang=en) - [Claims & Financials](https://help.rentworksplus.com/kb/claims-financials?hsLang=en) - [Settings & Administration](https://help.rentworksplus.com/kb/settings-administration?hsLang=en) - [Reservation Plugin](https://help.rentworksplus.com/kb/reservation-plugin?hsLang=en) - [E-Signature in RentWorks Plus](https://help.rentworksplus.com/kb/e-signature-in-rentworks-plus?hsLang=en) - [Install Desktop & Mobile App](https://help.rentworksplus.com/kb/install-desktop-mobile-app?hsLang=en) - [Payments](https://help.rentworksplus.com/kb/payments?hsLang=en) - [Getting Started](https://help.rentworksplus.com/kb/getting-started?hsLang=en) [![rentworks-bluebird-ars-logo-light](https://help.rentworksplus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/rentworks-bluebird-ars-logo-light.png?width=290&height=70&name=rentworks-bluebird-ars-logo-light.png "rentworks-bluebird-ars-logo-light")](https://help.rentworksplus.com/kb?hsLang=en) [mailto:help@rentworksplus.com](mailto:help@rentworksplus.com) Copyright © 2026, ## Driven by experience.
