reported internal fuel tank modelled too small?

[Rongor]

Boeing and other sources publish 1080 gallons as internal fuel capacity.

Like all other fuels, density of JP-8 can vary within a range depending on temperature and possibly other factors, yet depending on where you look it up stays within around 6.5 - 7 lb per gallon. The Technical manual for the 47-D defines the density as 6.7 lb per gallon for weight/balance calculations.

This would mean 7236 lb for completely filled internal tanks.
Currently though 100% internal fuel represent only 6734 lb.

Even deviating from the TM's 6.7 and assuming the lower density of 6.5, 6734 lb are too short.

There is an issue with fueling right now, so we will add this to the report to be checked as well. Thanks!
