If the green flag burn (see above) is 25-26 gallons, then the remaining 7-8 gallons (in a 33 gal. tank) is good for only 12-13 minutes total yellow flag time over the whole of a 50 lap race. Gonna make it? Nope.
Under caution laps they would '' lean it down" to conserve fuel. Been there, done that.
