Re: LW Transport Groups in Greece Dec 41
Hi Larry
Many thanks. I have different results of the calculation though?
For a 55 (US) gallon barrel, or 208l, I get to 148kg at a specific weight of 0.711kg/ltr for petrol, excluding the weight of the barrel. Let's say 160kg including the barrel, or almost 353 lbs.
That would make 1,420kg for nine barrrels, plus a few kg for fixtures to keep them in place. That would be 3,130 lbs. If we use UK gallons, we end up with just under 3,600lbs.
Considering that there was a maximum loading weight per sqm for the floor, that doesn't sound too unrealistic?
It's about half of the possible weight, but I am wondering if this may have been required in order to ensure the planes could go and come back on one full tank?
All the best
Andreas
