Do you know if they were using bladders or tanks to hold the fuel?Just looking at the detail of "4500" US Gallons of "fuel" (3200 heating oil, 1400 Avgas) looks to pretty much max-out the DC4 Max T/O weight 73,500lb.
Does anyone have the DC4 T/O Performance tables? Anyone comment on DC4 EFATO at max T/O? Thanks

I have no specific info but, as per Blancolirio report and this youtube entry, "Uncovering the 22 myths of the Douglas DC-4 fuel aircraft still flying Alaska" they seem to have fixed tanks for the cargo fuel in the cabin.Do you know if they were using bladders or tanks to hold the fuel?
Thanks Eagledad. The flight performance data here is thin but, I think it has some value.Eng
Attached are the tactical planning charts from June 1947. The sheets for the C-54G (DC-4) can be found on pages 36 and 37.
FWIW
