It could be water. I always treated fuel quantity indications in the A306 as an approximation rather than as a precise figure. I know of one aircraft that went into a sub-idle state on one engine because of water . We always used to take a ton of fuel from the outer tanks just so that we could put some warm fuel in it on the next turnround.Lufty used to empty the tank completely.
