Either way he admitted to the gallon/litre conversion error.
I don't see how the numbers 23 and 30 relate to a litres - gallons conversion error?

It is fairly clear that the guy is either a Free Mason or we arguing around a facts vacuum

Saying that, I too cannot possibly imagine how somebody can mistakenly load too little fuel to complete the journey when it is so easy to chekc the quanitity. All there is in the ANO is a statement that the commander shall reasonably satisfy himself that he has sufficient fuel. I assume that the only officially recognised way of establishing how much fuel there is in the aircraft is by reading the fuel guages. So begins another iteration of the that argument.
