26 gallons. Full fuel gives you much more than 150 lbs. Empty weights
of around 1000 and a gross of 1500 gives you two FAA standard people
and full fuel.

Gross on the 150 is 1600 pounds, but empty weight is 1060 with the O-200. Add
some radios and an Imron paint job, and we're over 1100. Stick an O-320 in it
and you've just added about 100 pounds to the empty weight.
