I'll look into this but I'm not quite clear what could the issue be since I can use 75L of the tank consistently and the fuel gauge is on par with this volume.

I'll re-run test 21 to be sure but considering the right one went directly to 27 after fill up (and was at 26.8 when I got home 15km later) and the left one wasn't touched since I ran test 21 2 days...
