And 10lbs per Imperial Gallon which is more likely what Frank was
quoting, so 16,000 pounds, or 8 tons. IIRC the NCFS claimed 1800 gallons
(US), but since the tanks are just rectangular fiberglass tanks (one on
either side of the cargo hold) they probably can be set up differently
depending on the usual mission of the plane (shorter flights, bigger
water tanks).
