Forscan Dongle Type: OBDlink MX Black Bluetooth

Hello,
My name is John Hunt and I am a new member.
I have the obdlink cable and dongle and plan to do some diagnostics on my fuel system to try to rectify some lean rich issues, also very interested in doing the mods like tank size etc.
I would like to know where the instructions for mods are please.
