That speaks of someone in a huge rush. Would barely allow for a restroom stop.
The aircraft appears to be a 1978 R182. The flight manual for this model states long range tanks hold 285 litres of useable fuel. Adding 263 litres means they sure were light on fuel earlier. Unless of course they had modified fuel capacity.
