FSEconomy loads incorrect fuel into TBM900

FSEconomy. When I start the flight, it loads much less fuel that I should. I don't know if this is an issue with the FSE client or the TBM. For example, most recent flight, I had loaded 250 gal (both in sim/TBM and FSeconomy refueling). When I hit start flight, the fuel indicated was instead 220 gallons. 

Anyone else noticed this?

It's probably worth checking the FSE forums for a more in depth answer.  In short FSE loads fuel by the weight and it assumes Jet A weighs the same as 100LL which it doesn't there is about 13% difference.

Based on your figures 220*1.13 = 248.6 so I expect this is the issue you're seeing.

Thank you! I'll keep this in mind from now on when refueling in FSE.
