There are two different ways to specifiy the fuel during the stops (and in the setup screens) controlled by a flag in the .PLR file. Practise makes perfect though and I spent some two hours testing all the permutations at the start of the season to make sure I never got caught out.
bit like the anderstorp bug last season ,bit late after the event

hi dave ,the whole things a mess lol i got the pit bug on lap 15,if you look on graph it shows 4min plus stop,this combined with the second stop for fuel _{because the first stop didnt fill to reqd amount}im not sure about the fuel thing?is there a tweak for the plr to stop this? looking at the 2nd stop im guessing i lost around 2minutes on the 1st stop because of the bug,tbh stuff happens thats why i carried on to try to pick up points,so if its a problem ,just go as it is.
just a quickie about the gt/ngt gripes,dont forget its a bad track because its all stop and start,but some ngt just were just not looking and just saying only pass on straights is a bit much at zu ,when 3 of the straights meant you were having to pass near the braking zone and on the short straights some of the ngt cars were not giving way causing problems for the gt's with longer braking distance than the ngt's,i dont expect you to move but it would'nt hurt you to back of throttle a fraction to allow the pass clean and usually you will get the time back in the draft,the things i use when running in enduro's are mirror you should be able to see what it is ,timer showing position times nearest to fore and aft,and name tags on always,i always hold my line on straights and corners and just back of a little if being passed,that being said i have to say the ngt's have been good at all the circuits this season so hopefully its just zu that had probs.

should have known from q it was going to be a tough day :)lots of lag especially around the pits,so never got a clean lap,race was the same.dont know what happened with set up ,i was running 11s and low 12s on server in practice,but just could'nt get things to speed in race,think i aired too much on the cautious side with the rad settings,race was pretty uneventful,couldnt find speed so just hoped to pick up places thru attrition,but bad fps in places caused problems which kept me on my toes and caused a few hairy mo's,glad to finish. nice wins in gt and ngt and as ever ngt were courteous in allowing passes ,thx guys

steady start to the season,didnt have the pace for q,so happy with grid,settled for meds and just hoped i would have a steady run,managed a steady pace and the ngt guys ran with care and helped when they could,got to pits without incident,fueled and went to pick up some time,settled into race and just let it unfold,when all pitting done i was in no mans land ,no pace for leader ,but enough to back off and save tyres and fuel from 3rd,nw guys and great racing .

still struggling with plr settings,but was running 1.57's n8's in prac so thought i would be ok for race,then it feckin rained and rained and rained,could'nt string a lap together in the wet,so happy to finish q with all the ngt's behind me,race was the same always little errors that cost time,spent most of the race thinking they must be on slicks,but stayed out until the wets gave up,pitted changed to soft slicks and set off,should have just pressed esc,span before start /fin straight and got beached,then got puncture then threw com thru window ,just to let you know counting backwards from 10 to 1 does not help congrats to class winners and well done everyone who finished
