For one thing, in the JSBSim config file the capacity is listed there as well, so one can easily be alerted to accidentally giving too much fuel. There should be one place for this to be done. Overriding the config file value will confuse people, and make people think something is broken. Like it has here. Also, there are mass properties isues. This "feature" needs to be removed from FlightGear, I think.
