My source was Jane's Fighting Aircraft of WWI. It listed 26 gallons.

In regards to biplane vs. triplane wings that Michele brought up, I guess I'd like to ask if reconfiguring the wings would really matter. After all (at least the way I've been doing it so far), all I'm trying to do is get a set of wings with approximately the right SA. For example, does it matter if it's a 3x version of Recon wings of a 2x set of Light Fighter Wings, especially if you are planning on using the historic SA for performance calculations? (Which it seems to me like you should always do, otherwise every plane will end up exactly like every other plane if they are in the same MVDS size category.)
