The property system currently publishes the value using US gallons,
but think that almost everyone agrees that using a volume measurement
is wrong, since volume is relative to temperature and air pressure.
Andy has suggested just using 0.0:1.0 and scaling it in the FDM (and
panel) for each aircraft type.  That should work.  Others (including
me) prefer to use pounds of fuel, which should also work.


All the best,


David
