1. Go on a diet 2. Define a gallon of 100LL as weighing 5.82 lbs instead of the usual 6 lbs - Mooney did it. Is this legal/valid? If so, why don't all manufacturers do it? Hilton It's valid, or at least more accurate that the traditional 6 lbs/gal. Fuel specific density probably varies between manufacturers, but is usually specified as 0.7 or 0.71, which is about 5.84 lbs/gal. You need to carry a lot of fuel for this difference to amount to anything useful. I'll keep using the more conservative "6", ... and start dieting - Tom
