If you change tab from kg to lbs and change again to kg you fuel count down!
Only move your mouse and tab from kg to lbs to kg without put any new fuel.

Don't believe.... me too, but it is big BUG.

Please, work on it.

Actually, this is easily explaned, when the calculuation goes through, it is rounded off. So if you click back and forth between them, it will keep rounding off a little bit of fuel at a time. If you really don't want to be out of fuel, times your fuel load in pounds by 1/2.2 to find out how much in Kg you need to put in.

This reads kinda odd.

What he's saying is -

Take your amount in pounds, multiply it by 2.2 to get the weight in kilograms that you need.

Or to make it a mathematical expression (since I've got 10 seconds to think it up)-

x * 2.2 = y

Where
x=Pounds
and
y=Kilograms

Actually it's the other way around - Kilograms x 2.2 = Pounds.

Ok, sorry, I'm a math boy.

when i Said multiply by 1/2.2, I meant times your weight in lbs by (1/2.2) ie 1 over 2.2, or .4545454545, to get how may kg you need. Take your weight in kgs and times it by 2.2 to get how many lbs you need.

Kg-->Lbs kgx2.2

Lbs-->Kg lbsx(1/2.2) or lbs/2.2

Hope that clarifies things.

And the whole point of this, is that if you flick back and forth at the fuel screen, your fuel will go down, but theres nothing stopping you from reentering the amount you want to refuel with.
