Individual Fuel Tank (Cell) Capacity

[GMAs]

I though you had opened up the inspection covers under the wing.. and looked at where the leaking was coming from and determined that it was from the inboard tank.. area...

To answer your question... the tanks look smaller as you go out to the wing tip... with the inboard tank between the boom being the largest.. and having the turning tank built inside... the next one out is not as big the first as it is much thinner... and finally the third tank is still smaller... those tanks make up the smaller fuel tanks on the early skymasters... or about 45 gallons each side... so with a little dudction you can divide each into the 45 and come up with about a good ball park figure... giving the inboard tank a rating of say 17 gallons... the next 15...makes the final one 13 gallons... but, ....

You can't determine the leak just from that... as you look at the wing... it will not fill the first tank then the second and finally the third.. they will all start coming up as you fill the wing... so until just about the time 3 inboard tanks get full you first tank is going to be totally full... kinda thing...

Hope this helps G.M> GMAs
