It installed nicely on N900 and after a quick test it seems to work at almost correctly.
I had some problems with database import and I don't know how it should be done correctly. I got all the information in N900 only when I manually replaced database in N900 with old database from the N810 and the I made also export in N810 which I then imported in N900. Copying database did not make the trick and it was also impossible to use menu to open different database.
Import of csv file from N810 started from first phase. Import of database was not possible at all or it didn't work.

Otherwise, really enjoy the application and find it essential for my personal interest in record keeping.

I'll need to work on the import since I can understand that many people have used other tools before and want to import their old data.

At this time, I left out the possibility of opening a different database on purpose, but that will be included later.

If you like, I could look into your csv if there are really problems in reading it. You should find my e-mail address with the following command in xterm on your device
Code:
apt-cache show fuelpad|grep Maintainer

There might be some problems with "rajaa näytettävät" (sorry don't want to boot tablet to see correct English name for this) menu entry. I don't know how it should be used because there doesn't seem to be any way to activate the selection. There are just AND/OR selections and 'Clear' button for the different information. I would like to get rid off some of the tabs in main screen. I don't like pan screen left and right.
Any way this is excellent program to keep up with fuel consumption. Thanks a lot for making it.

I thought that copying old database from N810 to N900 should bring all my data to N900 so I got little bit confused about how to make it happen. From the user perspective replacing database file with one containing some data should just work. There should not be any need to use open database from the menu.
Nope. N810 has been working correctly for me all the time. I meant that importing database was not possible in N900 fuelpad. I tried to use Import functionality for database file from N810 because I couldn't find any other way to get that data. And only way to get driver and car info was to replace N900 database file and then importing csv file from N810 fuelpad. After that I could see all old data in N900. Replacing database bring only car and user information.

Good!

When you have implemented those few missing features I believe that it will be ready for the public.

[*]The fuel database (sqlite3) is stored in /home/user/MyDocs and it is open all the time. Could someone suggest a better place now that MyDocs can be exported via USB?
If the file needs be accessed with the file selector then there is no other place. There could be some kind of import/export interface which would copy files between MyDocs and the actual directory.

After updating N900 SW I install Fuelpad again and noticed following small visual problems:
1. Application manager shows small icon for Fuelpad and it's name starts with low letter 'f'.
2. After installation there is no icon for Fuelpad in the menu. It appears only after reboot.
Everything else seems to work correctly. I would say that after fixing those smaal issues it is ready for extras-testing.

This is a quite direct Fremantlelization of the Diablo version. For those who don't know what Fuelpad is, I refer to the garage home page http://fuelpad.garage.maemo.org/. First public versions of Fuelpad were released in the beginning of 2008 and it has been available in extras repository from about the beginning of 2009.
Some things to note:
And did someone ask for screenshots? You'll find two taken on the SDK in garage:
