If I read you right...
4.13.3 and earlier versions:
When fuel tank of 200 kg full capacity (just as example) is dropped in flight at any time, total weight of aircraft is reduced by exactly 200 kg. Duration of flight at this point does not matter.
4.13.4:
When fuel tank of 200 kg full capacity is dropped in flight, total weight of aircraft is reduced by <200 kg minus weight of fuel consumed>.
Right?
