Bell222b fuel range with aux
Gross is 8250. If you are at a weight of 7500 lbs, ISA temp of +3 at 6000', you can figure on about 500lb/hour at 137 knots TAS. At 550 lb/hr you are at 140 knots.
Std fuel is 1275lbs, another 310 or so available with an aux tank in the baggage compartment. A little over 400nm -rotorrookie was pretty close.

Usually with drums you run out of weight capacity before you do room.
