Well... math is an issue sometimes. One error gets compounded and it alwasy seems to be in the wrong direction. We have been datalogging fuel for the last month in multiple ways to see what is most accurate. By math, totalizer, and gauge observation.

We have 3 operators and one fuel farm account. Effectively we consider the fuel in the tanks = fuel in the ground. Its all just inventory. An operator could return the plane with more or less than he left and his individual fuel allocation could go down or up based on this. We don't refuel after every flight just so the next operator has a chance to choose his own fuel load.

After a few more flights we will have a good read on the respective accuracy for our accounting and I will report back.
