How difficult is it to change the measurement system from metric to Imperial? Is it even possible?

The units are set by default in "NM (Nautical Mile)" which you can change to "MI (Miles)" or "KM (Kilometer)". To do that, you need to go to core/local.config.php and make your changes:

Config::Set('UNITS', 'nm');			# Your units: nm, mi or km
Config::Set('CARGO_UNITS', 'lbs');

Thnx Parkho

Had a look at this and the settings were already set as you showed. Maybe I didnt ask the right question; It should be

The manual PIREP shows Fuel in Kgs. Thats what I want to change to lbs.

In manual PIREP filing, you can simply send fuel data in lbs and just change the tags but keep in mind that if you do that, you'll need to change all kg tags every where the system uses fuel data to show it correctly. Another issues will be your ACARS client which records fuel data in kg. I guess that's how it is in real world aviation in general. What you can do instead is that fetch the data in kg and convert it to lbs to show it in your web page.
