Database Editor problem

I found when correcting a ship class and then going to correct the specific ships of the class that the database previously had the "Endurance" figure from the ship class in the "Fuel" section of the specific ship. This was in the database for Scenario 15, version 1.21. This may not cause any problems as the fuel capacity of a ship is much lower than the endurance figure, thus the excess is not taken into account.

Endurance and fuel are not the same? If the endurance of a transport is 10,000 what would the fuel number be if it is starting the game full?
I thought they were the same since when you look at the TF screen the fuel is not listed only the endurance number. So if you want to examine the fuel status of a tf do you need to page through all the individual ships?
Sorry if I sound confused, but I am!

Norseman,
From the Editor Manual
Endurance is the number of miles the ship can travel at cruise speed before it expends all of its fuel.
Fuel the number of tons of fuel carried by the ship.
Example: Ship 'A' has an endurance of 15,000nm at 15kts and carries 5,000tons of fuel to do it with.
