Re: Jet Fuel in Wings?
How Much Does a Gallon of Jet Fuel Weigh?
Jet A-1 type fuel, in terms of Imperial weights and measures, measures 0.15 gallons per pound. Thus, one gallon of Jet A-1 type fuel weighs 6.66 pounds.
77,192 gallons X 6.66 LBS = Total FUEL weight of 514,098.72 LBS or 257 TONS if fully fueled not including the planes weight on top of that.
