152 It's possible the bowser driver opened ctr tank switch before he realised you wanted less than 7800kgs? Who's perfect?

The quoted guage tolerance at full tanks is +/- 2.5%, so each main could start off with virtually +/-100kgs per side error.

If you read my previous postings on mystery fuel readings, you may appreciate the NG, even new 'frames, is not particularly accurate in it's fuel indications. The limit of 453 kgs is just that (1000lbs in American units) and anything less is not worth the distraction.

Concentrate on looking out the window and enjoying the view, whilst current SOPs permit that luxury...............?
