How do I configure the fuel on board display to take from each tank equally?  After the Obstacle/Terrain upgrade, it takes from one tank first then takes from the remaining tank.

Assuming this is related to the terrain upgrade, it could be that your avionics shop did not set up the configuration after the terrain upgrade erased your setup.  Ideally your avionics shop should set this back, but if you want to look into it you can enter the config page of the Garmin 430/530 by holding ENTER while the unit powers up.  Be very careful about anything you change there.  The configuration pages are documented in the Garmin 430/530 Installation Guide, which is about 4 megabyes -- I can email it to you if you wish and you have enough space in your email account.

Thank you Richard!  I thought that might be the case, I will get the shop to set it back the way it was next week when I go back there.
