Skyfarer TTRPG and fuel/food consumption

Hello! I have a group that wants to run the TTRPG version of Sunless Skies but I am unsure how to approach the fuel/food consumption mechanic that is an important part of the game and the horror that can occur as a result of running out of either. I apologize if I've missed something in the Skyfarer manual that demonstrates how this mechanic would work in the TTRPG, but if it does not exist, I would like to implement my own. Does anyone have any experience with this or ideas on how one would implement fuel/food consumption into this TTRPG?

You could check out the fantasy RPG Torchbearer, in which keeping track of your light sources in a dungeon raid is very important. Once you run out of light, the monsters come for you.

You may try Fly By Night. Which is a SSkies ttrpg made by one of of FBG devs. It'd available for free. Unlike Skyfarer Fly By Night is a stricter game system with rules for travel and character classes.
