Meh, the pylon loaded fuel tank is how I escape from intersteller space.

My solution to that was the fuel collector OXP. In the thin vacuum of interstellar space it takes damn-near forever to gather enough fuel to escape, but that's ok.. it gives you time to meditate on your mistakes..

It's been a while but since the only way out of the mission is to Gal-Jump,

There is one other way that only works in systems with a small sun. (except from cheating solutions that include oxps giving you fuel).

When I entered a nova system for the first time and got the fuel leaks, I went straight to the sun to refilled my tanks. Than I visited the main station with full tanks. In hindsight, I was just lucky. In a nova system, all suns are much bigger than normal, so it takes more time to reach the fuelling point and you only get away in time in systems that start with a very small sun. (Small dot on the galactic chart)

It's a challenge to trigger the nova mission in such a system, refuel there and complete the mission without doing a galactic jump.

There is another good solution - JumpPlanner... Based on the Thargoid techology, this system don't use witchspace engine fuel
