i guess it was 3L MK even if the fire looks pretty intense for 3L.. but one way or another its a race fuel that ignites easier and burns in higher temps.. and if its like 3 gals it means more than 11 liters it means its like more or less 10% of the full load of fuel.. probably there ll be some changes with the collectors capacity or somehow where its placed etc in future.. combination of worst scenario possible but at least cockpit wasnt upside down then it d be very very nasty...
It's completely insane. They are saying the impact was upwards of 50g's which I can definitely believe. I don't know that 3 liters would have created a fireball like the one we saw. I will watch it again.

100 percent correct on placement of the collector capacity, location and whether it is a single collector or if, perhaps, multiple collectors can be used to reduce the volume of fuel contained therein.

So many questions after this.
