Negative Quality (2)

Thank's to everyone who commented on my earlier thread. I think I can rule out reticulation. I wonder if I have stumbled on my problem. My small tank uses 550ml of solution to cover the film. With XTOL 1:3 thats about 137 ml's of developer. Is it possible that I'm running out of developer before the film is done. Could the weak solution be creating the increase in grain. My handy dandy book "Film Developing Cookbook" states that the minumum working solution for dilute developers is 1000 ml's. Have you found this to be a problem?
