Don't have the exact numbers for the Lodestar, but I do have a Plane Capitan book for the PV-2 which should be pretty close to the same numbers. |

Were you looking for the fuel quantities on a B-25 with aux tanks, or just the mains? Some, like the Yellow Rose, have aux tanks. Others only have mains installed. |

OK Zwitter, now you've done it! You made me go pull out my -1, since I couldn't remember the amounts off the top of my head! According to my 15 January 58 revision of the T.O. 1B-25(T)N-1, the fuel quantity data is: (each side) Front main = 184 gallons Rear main = 151 gallons Wing Aux (3 cells) = 152 Bomb bay = 215 Total Main and Aux capacities = 974 gallons Total if Bomb bay tank is in = 1189 Note: Usable fuel is slightly less than quantity listed. That being said, modern B-25's might hold a few gallons more if the original self-sealing tanks have been replaced with bladder tanks. Oh, and the -1 says "Each engine is provided with an independent oil system which incorporates a self-sealing, 37.5 US gallon nacelle oil tank with a four gallon expansion area..." |
