Just think of one thing : what does your engines burn ? Volume or Weight ?
Hi CL300! Yep, the old discussion... But that's exactly the problem: engines burn weight. But fuel tank is constrained by volume.

With the SG of the fuel you get in east asia you will be weelllllll below your usual full fuel load.

On top of that, some specific aircraft models are known to have issues with the FQMC (fuel quantity mangmt. computer - or whatever its called by the OEM).

That's why I wanted to know from actual F900 operators.
