Maximum fuel capacity

[tomymal]

Hello,

 

I have a question why the max fuel cap is 76500 kg. All version have this max fuel cap is it normal ?

On the official airbus site its 139900 kg. (https://aircraft.airbus.com/en/aircraft/a330-advanced-to-boost-profitability/a330-300)

 

Thanks

Hey,

most A330-300 do not have a center tank, which results in a fuel capacity of 97170 liters (78.125 kg calculated with a density of 0.804 kg/L at 15 °C).

The A330-200 is equipped with a center tank, which results in the fuel capacity of 139900 liters (112.480 kg calculated with a density of 0.804 kg/L at 15 °C).

Since the MSFS 2024 probably does not simulate different fuel densities, a fixed value was probably set at a certain density.

Is it the case in MSFS2024 that the A330-200 also does not reach the appropriate value? Unfortunately, I can't check it myself at the moment.

Kind regards,

To correct the swapped numbers in the previous post: 😄 

The A330-200 with center tank - 139090 liters (111,828 kg calculated with a density of 0.804 kg/L at 15 °C).

Hello,

I'm not seeing what you a referring to. The -200 & -300 do not display the same max fuel capacity in the EFB. 
-300: 76,511 KG
-200: 109,176 KG
Above values are valid for both engine options. As explained by @A330MRTT, the -200 has a center fuel tank where's the -300 does not, hence the increased capacity.
