So, so, so very close to running out of fuel in Battlebus.  Arse cheeks fully clenched as it started to miss. It took 57.8l to 2nd click of pump.

Need to check tank size for a Zaffy-A

The range warning on the GID was annoying me (and I couldn't then see the time), so I acknowledged/cancelled it.  The yellow fuel light is not bright enough.

Is it 58l tank? :o.  That's cutting it a bit too fine, even by my standards.
