Can anyone please help with a quick answer to how much total fuel and useable fuel a PA38 (Tomahawk) holds? Also, what is a typical consumption for planning purposes?
Thanks PJ

Total usable - 113lt./30 USG
Consumption - 22 LPH.
Max Oil - 6 Qts.
How's that for quick?

Sincere thanks for this.
Must say I am surprised as top the relatively low burn. I had assumed nearer 28LPH at approx 90kts.

We use the same figures as Dude65 quoted with the varation that in the properly leaned cruise you can plan 20 LPH.
