Could you re-check that? My sources say that

transcontinental

Boeing 767's can take on about 23,000 *gallons* of

fuel.

Howdy Bryan,

Not sure but it is common practice in the Air Force to
measure fuel in pounds not gals.  If it is 23,000 gals.
that would make the fuel weight at aprox. 149,000
pounds.  Doesn't seem right to me but I will see what I
can find.
