What was found

(CAN) THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT ERROR IN THE INDICATION OF FUEL QTY, WHICH CREATED AN UNSAFE CONDITION. THE QTY AND FUEL USED INDICATIONS PROVIDED ON THE SAME INSTRUMENT ARE SELF CONTRADICTORY. DEPENDING UPON WHICH ONE THE PILOT NOTICES, OR TAKES AS MORE CREDIBLE, THE PILOT UNDERSTANDING OF THE AMOUNT OF FUEL ON BOARD COULD BE DANGEROUSLY WRONG.
