What is the maximum capacity of the collector tank for fuel?

The maximum capacity of the collector tank for fuel in the T-6 aircraft is 40 pounds. This tank serves an important function in the aircraft's fuel system by providing a reserve of fuel that can be drawn upon when needed, ensuring that the engines receive a steady fuel supply, particularly during maneuvers or changes in aircraft attitude. Understanding the specific capacity of fuel tanks is crucial for flight operations, load calculations, and ensuring safety during flight. Recognizing this operational detail helps pilots make informed decisions regarding fuel management and planning for the aircraft's performance during different phases of flight.
