What is the amount in each main fuel tank?

In many aircraft, fuel is stored in two main tanks and the quantity asked for is the amount in each tank. For this airplane, the data specifies 1,273 pounds in each main tank. So when you’re asked for the amount in each main fuel tank, you report that per-tank figure, not a total for both tanks. If you needed the total in the main tanks, you’d double it to 2,546 pounds. The other numbers don’t match the per-tank capacity shown in the aircraft’s fuel data, which is why they aren’t correct.
