Can you post the actual error message? And also let us know which version of 
LedgerSMB you are installing. Just copy and paste the exact text of the error 
you are getting, and I am sure someone will be able to help out from there.

So you are wanting to apply a sort of "surcharge" to specific items? I guess 
you could do that using taxes (you can set up multiple taxes on items) but I 
don't know if that would be quite right for what you are after - for one 
thing, the taxes apply independantly of each other (depending on which 
version you are running) and you might be required to apply sales tax to your 
surcharge as well.

Another option might be to make an assembly, which is made up of say the fuel 
item, and a surcharge item.

You could also apply a negative discount on the item, but that might look a 
bit confusing for the customer.

I don't know if that helps, but hopefully it gives you some ideas.
