he internal fuel capacity of the original MiG-29B is 4,365 litres distributed between six internal fuel tanks, four in the fuselage and one in each wing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikoyan_MiG-29

however ............... an Omega's fuel tank is, as Rob says, 75 litres   ;)

Right ................  ;)
on eBay last year, there was a huge US motorhome that had a fuel tank of

100 galls  :o :o :o :o :o :o (even if it was US galls it'd still make a huge dent in your wallet to fill that bugger up!)

I know .. and at ~10mpg it would empty it pretty damn quick, too!

What about those folks with huge yachts - 25,000litres of fuel. Granted if you can afford the cost of the yacht.. ;D

Or in the fuel tank.

Christ, when I had my first Omega it'd cost me £70 to brim it, from having the "fill up, you idiot" light flashing at me!
