Looking at changing my fuel tank on my new hauler from C2 to C1, i.e., from 4 tonnes of fuel to 2 tonnes. This change appears to give an increase in my hyperspace range, but I just can't quite believe it. Is it really true? What am I missing?
That is correct. You are basically only using half a tank of fuel. 2 tons lighter will increase jump range, but will decrease overall range with half a tank. Not worth it IMO. Upgrade FSD instead.

Or lower your mass. Since your mass is lower with a full 2 ton tank as opposed to a full 4 ton tank, it would make sense that your jump range is increased (but the amount of jumps you can perform would be decreased). Better quality parts usually equals lesser mass (usually).
