Import: Fuel Tab

The fuel tab allows users to import third party fuel pricing information into FOS to allow for easier price shopping during the trip planning process. 
Note: Users will need to obtain csv pricing files from the various fuel vendors in order to import the data into FOS.

Purge if X day old- Should fuel pricing information need to be purged from FOS, users may enter a number of days and manually purge the prices if they are old than "x" number of days.
