Narrative:

The captain, and also chief pilot, I was flying with would not put on more fuel at my request. We were both aware of the forecast conditions at our destination, and were both also aware that these conditions required additional fuel to be added to remain within legal IFR reserve fuel minimums. However, the captain was still unwilling to purchase the fuel. The captain left the aircraft with FBO personnel and I thought he would reconsider his position and order the required fuel. However, when he returned, he started the aircraft and said we were going. I am new with this company and was afraid to make waves with my boss, as he has a poor record with pilot personnel. I should have made a stand, and deplaned the aircraft, but I did not. We landed with about 35 mins of fuel at our destination after shooting an ILS to 500 ft and approximately 1 1/4 SM visibility. I voiced my displeasure with his actions, putting our certificates in jeopardy, and putting the aircraft and passenger in jeopardy. I made contact with his superior and informed him of the event. They assured me that they would stand behind me in all sits of this nature, and also informed me that this will not happen again, and the captain will be dealt with by the company. I have learned that I should and will take whatever actions necessary to avoid putting my certificate, my safety, the passenger safety, or the aircraft in jeopardy.
