Hi Ken
Is that 15 Imperial Gallons? My 52 has 18.5 US gal (usable) tanks...
Cheers form Burlington Ont.

The tank capacity nariances seem odd to me - my 1952 170B has 22 gal tanks - 37 useable.

Doug, how do two 21.5 gallon tanks equal 42 gallons total?
Per the type certificate data sheet A-799: The tanks are 21 gals. Total 42 gals with 37 gals useable, (18.5 useable each.)
