We should be able to dump fuel to increase our jump range. They could add a check box under the fastest route drop down in the galaxy map that says use fuel dump. Using this settings will plot the fastest route possible regardless of your current fuel level. If you have too much fuel when you target a destination the fuel gauge will show the amount of fuel that needs to be dumped in red as well as the amount of fuel you will use for the jump in blue. When you activate the FSD it will say “WARNING FUEL DUMP REQUIRED” there would be a quick dump button you can press that will dump the required amount of fuel to make the jump. This would allow you to maximize your jump range while balancing it by potentially leaving yourself stranded if you carelessly jump around. Obviously this will greatly benefit from using a fuel scoop and filtering out nonscoopable stars.

I support this. Slapping a lightweight C1 plasma slug rail onto a ship will let you achieve what you're after, but being able to dump from the tank directly seems like a sensible thing to do.
Or with a refinery, pack it into containers of hydrogen fuel to sell

Wow I never thought of that way to use the effect. I also support the refinery idea. It could even make star mining a viable career as it should be. Someone has to get the fuel to the stations after all. It would also be cool if we could use hydrogen fuel in our cargo hold so you can use it to hold more fuel while still being able to transport cargo.

This would be really neat to have. Lot's of PVPers fit undersized tanks to go faster but it would be cool to be able to keep the large tank and just dump the fuel. Adds a nice bit of realism too, would even cooler if they could make it release a huge vapour trail too, assuming the fuel is liquid of course.
