Could you re-check that? My sources say that

transcontinental

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

fuel.

I just checked Janes All The Worlds Aircraft.

Boeing 757-200 fuel capacity 42,684 liters = 11,276 US
gals.

That would make the weight of the fuel at aprox. 73000
lbs which seems most reasonable.  In all probability
the plane was loaded with at least 70,000 pounds of
fuel when it hit the building.  That is 200 of 55 gal
drums not 60 as I said.  Makes it even hotter.
