Help! Fuel leak!

Well, I arrived out of witchspace with the message : Danger! Fuel Leak!
Then I lost all of my fuel. Will I continue to leak fuel as long as I fill up, or does it only happen once, then stop?

You should be ok next time you fill up - have you been offered the opportunity to do a maintenance overhaul on your ship yet?

No, not yet, but I was able to fill back up at the station about a 1/2 hour later. I just hope it doesn't start happening more often.

Once you let all fuel drain away, you'll be fine to refuel after that.. but if you used a fuel-pod to top up before your tank was empty, that would leak out too...

Apart from if you ignore maintenance, there is a very small percentage chance of a leak every time you witch-jump.

I think it is because the tank repair chemicals dissolve in the quirium fluid and are washed away with the last fuel droplets. Only when the tank is completely empty the chemicals can seal the tank and become firm.
