Lemain,
Sorry to disappoint you but, and I have just checked, all of our fuel orders and deliveries are in litres. Our pump dispenses in litres and the sign on the side of the bulk fuel tank gives it's maximium capacity in litres. At some point, somebody has to do the conversion and, certainly in police aviation, that person is the pilot. Now, as I previously said, if you can come up with a pump that dispenses in kgs................

"What the pilot needs to know is how much energy he has in his tanks"

So, you're telling me I've been doing it all wrong for the last 30 years??
All I'm interested in is that it's Avtur, how much it weighs and that I have enough of the stuff to enable me to get to where I need to go and do what I need to do.
