Most of the inaccuracy comes from the fillup, be able to refill to the same level. I quickly calculated that a one centimeter level difference is about 0.05 l/100 km on the distance we drove. Level difference was no more than 5 mm.
But I think that 30 km done that way are more accurate than 1000 km. More accuracy on the volume fillup but much more variables that I don't control.
Ideally, I would like to pump the diesel directly out of a bottle I would weigh before and after.
