But my result was that after the idea became clear to me and I double checked a few results by e.g. calculating gas consumption I felt very happy with the results and started to like the implementation. So no bug found on my side. One hint: As soon as you use such tiny small cylinders like 10l <g> most probably gas consumption and reserve gas will be the limiting factor.
