It applies only to small craft. (Small Craft Catalogue, page: 4)

Actually this was addressed in another thread and it is for any craft not just small craft.

MongooseMatt's response is here, The core rules will be getting an update to reflect this.

The Small Craft Catalogue uses the assumption that there is no practical minimum.

Hardwire beat Me to it

That may be misleading. The question Matt answered was whether the .1 to rule was still valid, and if there was a minimum duration, considering the 2 week rule for conversions.
We do not have a definitive statement on its application to starships yet

True, but I don't think that they would be editing the core rules if it didn't get rid of the min 1 ton rule for all ships. They would just simply say "Look in the Small Ships Catalogue"

It would be awful stupid to believe that you can put a 0.5-ton tank on a small craft, but that you couldn't put that same size tank on a larger craft. (as the rule originally stated) I ignored the original rule because it was stupid and whomever wrote that rule has never build a car, a motorbike, or a boat. In the real world you can put on whatever size fuel tank that you want. The only thing it changes is how long you've got until you run out of fuel.

So, that whole rule exists for no reason.

I just think it was based on lazy math.

It is kind of dumb that a 99 ton local ore hauler can go 20 weeks on a ton of fuel, but a 100 ton local ore hauler can only go four weeks.
