Fuel capacity on the Douglas A/B-26

[con-pilot]

Anybody know what the standard fuel capacity is on a A/B-26? A friend's brother in law is thinking about buying one.

Why he doesn't just ask the owner, I've not a clue.

Thanks in advance.

Scott Thompson's A-26/B-26 book says the normal internal fuel capacity was 925 US gallons.

Probably going to need a lot more than that, I was told the asking price is $135,000.00 USD and that there is an excellent chance that it has no engines.

For that price, it can't be in very good condition, more like a write off, except for some parts.

I'm no expert on war birds, but I have a general idea what they are worth and 135 thousand USD for a flyable Douglas B-26 would almost be considered theft I would think.

But then again, I could be wrong.
