Yes, that rings true - thanks, Astro14.
Just to make sure I'm understanding this correctly, the refilling techs determined, based on float level, that the tanks contained x weight of fuel. That weight was actually pounds, but was assumed to be kg. Therefore, there was only about 45% of the amount of fuel that there was thought to be. (1 kg ~ 2.2 lbs, and 1 lb ~ 0 45 kg.)
On that basis, it was either decided that the tanks had enough fuel for the next leg, or, if the tanks were topped up, the amount of fuel added was inadequate, correct?
As is so often the case, there were the two errors in series that led to the near-disaster - the broken fuel gauge, and the assumption about the units of measurement. Strange, since Canada had gone fully metric less than 5 years before.
Do you know what, if any, changes were made to the refuelling protocol as a result?
