Sid, 95 litres is a value very similar, give or take the SG for the OAT, to the 71-72 KGS of fuel that becomes unusable should both main tank transfer pumps fail or be selected off.

I think that makes the value of 95 litres interesting and could be significant. However it is the AAIBs job to determine the associated facts that would gives us a better insight into how this accident occurred.
Looking at the 135 thread and from my own experience having completed the sense check, that interesting and significant 95 litres (76 kgs) value that you associate to the transfer pumps being off, could actually be two or three times greater.

So in reality, we come back to the 95 litres still just simply being, 'the amount drained'.
