A great place to search for information is the manufacturer itself.
At "http://www.boeing.com/commercial/airports/plan_manuals.html" select your aircraft.
Then select "2.0 Airplane Description" and you get all the Information you need.

For Example:

B737-800
Usable Fuel = 26.022 Liter

B737 BBJ 2 (Based on -800)
Usable Fuel = 27.992 Liter (with 1 aditional Aux Tank)
Usable Fuel = 29.665 Liter (with 2 aditional Aux Tanks)
Usable Fuel = 31.645 Liter (with 3 aditional Aux Tanks)
Usable Fuel = 33.609 Liter (with 4 aditional Aux Tanks)
Usable Fuel = 35.576 Liter (with 5 aditional Aux Tanks)
Usable Fuel = 37.538 Liter (with 6 aditional Aux Tanks)
Usable Fuel = 39.530 Liter (with 7 aditional Aux Tanks)

Phil Me ole mate

Check your figures...

1 & 4 mains on a 744 holds 13,400 kgs at .795 sg

2 & 3 main 37,300 etc etc

You figures look close to a simialr figure in pounds..

To the original poster of this thread. Do you want volume or a KG figure of tank capacities. eg Many A330-200 have a limited center tank capacity due to max TO weight rating etc
767 also have varients of CAT capacity

Bolty, me ole mate....

Suggest you get your trusty calculator out or dust off those books. the figures are the total for both tanks.....

So, 27224/2 is 13622 per tank.....

If I remember correctly the original question was max fuel capacity.....

B777 - 200 / 200ER / 300

171,190 Litres = 137,500 Kg at SG = 0.8029

B777 - 300ER

181,220 Litres = 145,500 Kg at SG = 0.8029

(These figures represent USEABLE fuel at level attitude, and may be less than the entire volumetric capability).
