color:#1F497D'>The weight of fuel is going to depend in large part on the
percentage of nitro. Nitro is the heaviest component. Don’t believe it? Go to
the hobby shop and pick up a gallon of 5% with one hand and 30% with the other,
preferably from the same manufacturer. You’ll be surprised. I know I was when a
fuel manufacturer showed me at Toledo about twenty years ago. Fortunately, pilots
with glow planes are weighed without the fuel so they don’t have to worry about
that…<o:p></o:p></span></p>

I just weighed a gallon of fuel I have here. It was 7.8 pounds including the
plastic jig. 0.75 ounces per fluid ounce would mean the jug weighs +/- 29
ounces (1.8 pounds). <o:p></o:p></p>
