Thank you for the quote. I Googled Neil Hansford and another site seems to suggest this "almost full" fuel level is speculation, not verified fact (emphasis mine):'No accident'
AN aviation expert is certain what happened to MH370 wasnt an accident and the evidence pointed to the planes crew being involved.
Neil Hansford, chairman of Strategic Aviation Solutions, said: I think its been put there either by one of the crew or both, and theyve picked an area where the aircraft wont be found.
This was a crew-related incident. It wasnt a catastrophic explosion. It wasnt hit by military ordnance.
He said the near full tank of fuel with 117,00 litres instead of the 45 per cent required to fly to Beijing, was an indicator it was not an accident.

"Mr Hansford pointed to the amount of fuel likely on board the Boeing 777-200, at nearly full capacity with 31,000 gallons instead of the 45 per cent loading required to pilot a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, as being a strong indicator that MH370's disappearance was not accidental."

Could it have had a full tank? Maybe. But I have seen supposedly verified accounts to the contrary, in my previous link.
