Comment by generuso | original | SpaceX catches the Starship to end Flight 15

I have no idea about Starship, but in one of the Environmental Assessment reports there was specific data on the fuel remaining in Falcon-9 after landing. It was <1270 kg of RP-1, which is equal to 14 seconds of firing at full thrust for one engine -- if one could use all of the fuel up, which is typically not possible. That was the upper bound.
