Can one of you handy dandy aircraft databases give me some info on the fuel tank sizes (and range if you have it) of the LW series Fighters. Or point me in a direction. I've found bits and pieces of the info but not the detailed info that I want for specific AC.
I'm specifically looking for the A5, and 109 series (I cant' think of any fuel tank changes made during the series run).

Ok, can't believe no one has replied yet so let me refine my question.
1. I know that the 109E4 had an 88 Imp gal tank. Did this change at all during development?
2. I know the 190A-8 had the 115 liter tank behind the pilot. What was the size of the other 2 tank's (Fwd/Aft) and was it the same throughout developement?
I've found scanty info on simple fuel amounts and most sources just list range etc (which really just guest work). Any help would be appreciated.

I know the Fw-190 F8 had a 140 US Gallon total fuel capacity. I'd guess that most every Fw-190 built had a max fuel capacity of 140 gallons, not including drop tanks.

Ok I think the 140 would be right for all 3 tank 190's...so I'll go on assumption that for the 2 tank it would be around 110 gallons (190A5)..
Thx
Also just saw ur post 603..thx

The info I have on the 109 shows a single internal tank of 400L plus an external of 300L for a total of 700L. For the 190A8 I show the forward tank with 232L, aft tank with 293L, aux tank with 115L, and an external 300L for a total of 940L Internal fuel on the 190A8 would be 140.8Imp Gal while the 190A5 would be 115.5Imp Gal.

And the Ta152H-1 had 594l fuel + 85l GM-1 in the fuselage, plus 400l fuel + 70l MW 50 in the wings, and it could carry a 300l drop tank as well. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
