From: Quite near 'An aerodrome somewhere in England'
The A330MRTT holds about 20 tonnes more fuel than ol' Bubba's paper plane might, if it ever gets built....

Even at a (very) pessimistic 6.7 tonne per hour, that's 3 hours flight time.

At a pessimistic 480KTAS, that's an increased radius of action in still air of 720 nm - or 1334 km if you prefer.

Quite handy, one might think?
