computercraft turtle not working

[El_Diablo256]

i made a turtle program to farm melon, the simple non-improved version is her: http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/computercraft-melon-farm.20126/
now i want to improve the design to refuel before it starts and check how much fuel it has left and the amount of fuel in the slot(1). i fixed a lot, but now it give the message : test:86: attempt to compare _ _lt on function and number

the full code: http://pastebin.com/rSy9W5mQ
how do i have to fix this?

On line 86:

if turtle.getFuelLevel < 50 then

Should be

if turtle.getFuelLevel() < 50 then

As its a function. On a semi related node, for loops can shorten your code considerably. For example:

turtle.up()
turtle.up()
turtle.up()

can be shortened to

for variable = 1,3 do
turtle.up()
end

To apply this to line 53-66 of your script, you could do

for variable = 2,7 do
turtle.select(variable)
turtle.dropDown()
end
