   It's not clear to whom you were responding since you   
   top-posted, but if it was me:   
      
   I didn't say it was maintenance.  Kilograms vs. pounds,   
   i.e., fuel weight, not torque.   
   There was less than half the fuel onboard than had been   
   calculated.   
      
   Please interpolate your comments.
