For some Cessna 421 sim models, a full left main tank contains 121 gallons (U.S. liquid gallons), so, for that <ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">aircraft, </ins>with a full left main <ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">tank</ins>, Flight Sim stores the value 0.458038 into memory (121 gallons=0.458038 cubic meters), together with a flag that says its a volume type of unit. When Flight Sim is asked to display (A:FUEL TANK LEFT MAIN QUANTITY, ''gallons''), then it recognizes this as a volume type unit, applies the cubic meter to gallons conversion, and returns 121.</div></td></tr>
