The capacity of a real Auster belly tank is as given. If this aircraft is downunder they may be some differences. IIRC the local dealers carried out quite a number of modifications - belly tanks included - which were very necessary in that area.

From memory the local tanks generally had flat sides and a curved centre section rather than the Auster fully dished bottom and flat top. Their capacity? no idea!
