DA62 fuel density 0.72kg/litre is incorrect for JetA1

In mass and balance the weight of a 200 litre fuel load is incorrectly given as 142kg.

The DA62 uses a diesel engine running on JetA1, therefore fuel density should be 0.8kg/litre just like the A320Neo, Dreamliner and King Air 350.

This would give a weight of 160kg for a 200l fuel load. This 18kg anomaly is the weight of a check-in luggage, quite significant for such a small aircraft.

Good catch!
