Nightowl702 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Hi all. So I just came across an old Delta Airlines fueling manual I had from 2000 and I figured I would post a pic of the 737 page here showing the variations of the fuel tank capacities for the 3 main tanks of the 737CL and 737NG. The top two rows are for the 737-200, the 3rd row is the 737-300 (-400 &-500 similar) and the last row is for the 737-800 (-600,-700 & -900 similar). Hope you find this info useful. Happy flying!

CRJ_simpilot Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I always thought it was odd that fuel weighed less than water. I imagined that fuel had more chemicals and molecules than water and thus would weigh more. Yet water weighs about 8.35 pounds per gallon. I have also read that fuel weight can change if it's that low temp stuff. I can't remember its name now. OOM errors? Read this.

Nightowl702 Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Actually when I was servicing aircraft many years ago I remember the weight (fuel density) was checked 3 times a day and the value was always different depending on the temperature. Average was 6.73 per gal. The warmer it was the less it weighed. Out in the sweltering heat of the Las Vegas summers it was not uncommon for an aircraft fuel tank to stop taking fuel because it was full by gallons but the the gauge being in pounds would show 200-300 pounds shy of being full.
