If I'm reading this right. No fuel level has no impact on hp. The weight of how much fuel you have impacts the power to weight ratio. Is that what your looking for?

I saw a guy posting about "the fuel level" and full boost, didnt think so.

As long as the car runs, dont matter if 5l or 50l, same power.

The guy was probably referring to the gauge hacking available on some of the tunes which reads out your current PSI on fuel gauge. 1/1 being 20PSI normally and 1/2 being 10PSI and 0 being 0.
