Different Fuel Type
Hi, just wanted to mention. I had the same problem in Almaty and in Astana.
I did not have enough fuel after refueing was done. Fuel just disappeared after fueling stopped. Very strange but happens all the time there and everybody knows and adds some hundreds on the refueling.
Now after refueling a ton or so we start the engines and at the T/O position we suddenly got a ton more in fuel indication. Lucky we did calculation with some air for the speeds.
It all appeared suddenly.
Investigation is still going on.
But something else: The fuel used is not a Jet A-1 or A. It is a russian production and some "K" stuff. Almost like Jet A-1 but not all the way.
Maybe they just pumped the stuff with too high pressure and it generated foam and concluding wrong indications ?
I do not believe the fueltruck story, seems also just a problem with one aircraft type.
