Author Topic:   Aircraft Fuel/Oil Weights Whirlwind Pilot posted 03-13- 04:53 PM                I searched the internet to see if there were clear weights anywhere for fuel and oil used in aircraft (see the 'Biography' section). So far, I have come up with 7.5lbs for oil and 6lbs for fuel (US). Does anyone have any better numbers, or should I cruise with these? IP: Logged Jaguar Pilot posted 03-13- 09:19 PM                It depends on the type of oil and fuel..... I think they used 100/130 octain back then.... so I'll look up the weight for this type (my textbook is MIA right now, so Give me a day or 2 to find it), but I'm not sure what kinda oil they used. But I'll see what I can come up with. ------------------ Cheers! Jaguar The FS Hangar IP: Logged Tailslide Pilot posted 03-13- 09:36 PM                The weights are in the FM FAQ. IP: Logged Whirlwind Pilot posted 03-14- 04:27 PM                Where is the FM FAQ located at? IP: Logged Aui Pilot posted 03-14- 04:45 PM                OPPs Forum.

Oddly, I have the detailed weights for the SM.79, but they (Jane's) elected to mix the oil and fuel, usually only done for chainsaws... IP: Logged Whirlwind Pilot posted 03-14- 08:37 PM                Well lookie there, 7.2Imp Gal = 6 US Gal for fuel and 9 Imp Gal = 7.5 US Gal... imagine that . Now if I could get the Beu's to stop torpedoing things while their buds are flying 50ft off the target's mast... oooo that looked painful... IP: Logged
