The PIC needs to satisfy himself before the flight there is enough fuel. This responsibility cannot be delegated.... or can it?

The real Q is whether it is enough for the PIC to rely on records made by others.
Hasn't it just been demonstrated that from a legal point of view it is? Or am I still missing something.

It's obviously good airmanship to make sure that there is enough fuel for your flight. However, good airmanship doesn't seem to be a legal requirement
