2 Engines, 2 Tanks Set-up. Does Not Allow Me To Enter The Individual Tank Values

I have installed 2 X LMF-400When I go to setup it asks for engine tank configuration which I enter 2 engines and then 2 tanks, it the asks me for vessel fuel capacity. In the manual it states that I should be able to enter the individual tank sizes but I don't get that option. So now I have the problem that using the 2 fuel flow meters I cannot see what fuel I've used in the individual tanks. I've configured both DF-300 correctly and I can see both of them on the bus. Any help would be appreciated.
