Just remember (as has been noted here on past occasions) that the data
in this webpage is often laughably inaccurate.

The page on the Pathfinder, for example, lists a "62 gallon" fuel
capacity. The correct answer is either 50 (without tip tanks; although I
don't believe any were built *without* tip tanks, but I could be wrong)
or 84 gallons with tip tanks.

When they get basic stuff like that wrong, I tend to lose faith in the
rest of the data.


You are correct. I just looked at my aircraft and it lists 42 gal. I
believe it is 39 with 1.5 unusable each wing.
