According to hangar they give you 5 minutes of extra fuel (31 to 36 minutes).
Which seems to be correct. The Arado carried 3800 litres internal fuel, the two drop tanks only add 600 litres (=15.8%).

And the numbers in the hangar is not really useful for the jets. With some altitude the endurance are increased greatly. You can climb to 20k and still have 35 mins of fuel left.
