182 Cup Weight?

[Schweppy]

I think empty weight is 1075kg.

Does anyone know the weight when loaded with fuel?

Whatever the wight of a litre of petrol is, x that by the amount of litres in a tank. Voila.

LOL.

Soooooooooo what does a litre of petrol weigh?

And how many litres does a 182 take to fill up?

Read the manual and www.google.co.uk


Dayyymmmm!

 

[Schweppy]

LOL ok so 50 litres in a 182.

But cant find weight of 1 litre of fuel anywhere!

 

[mini-valver]

Use water instead, it's only going to be grams different I'd of thought.

 

[Schweppy]

Ah found it!

Fuel is actually lighter than water apparently!

So 50x0.75 = 37.5kg! lol

Fuel is actually lighter than water apparently!

Because it's oil. :rasp:


You might want to add a few extra kgs for other fluids too (washer, engine oil, coolant etc), they all add up!
