Fuel Level as variable?

Hello fellow guys,
as the title says, I want to know how I can save the fuel level of a mining turtle as a variable (if this is possible).

I'm using "TurtleOS 1.5" in Tekkit Lite.

Thanks for all answers

turtle.getFuelLevel()

returns the current amount of fuel.

And this:

local fuelLevel = turtle.getFuelLevel()

… stores it in a variable.

Note that what's stored is a number representing the amount of fuel the turtle has at the time turtle.getFuelLevel() was called. That variable won't automatically update, so you'll need to check it again every once and a while if you want to keep track of it.

Ok thanks. That's it what I've been looking for ^^
