A US tun is thus the volume of a rectangular cuboid with dimensions 36 by 38.5 by 42 inches. When the imperial system was introduced the tun was redefined in the UK and colonies as 210 imperial gallons.
Both the 42-US-gallon (159 L) barrels (based on the old English wine measure), the tierce (159 litres) and the 40-US-gallon (150 L) whiskey barrels were used. Also, 45-US-gallon (170 L) barrels were in common use. The 40 gallon whiskey barrel was the most common size used by early oil producers, since they were readily available at the time.
The G-200 has an empty weight of 750 lb (340 kg) and a gross weight of 1,150 lb (520 kg), giving a useful load of 400 lb (180 kg). With full fuel of 36 U.S. gallons (140 L; 30 imp gal) the payload is 184 lb (83 kg). [2] The manufacturer estimates the construction time from the supplied quick-build kit as 1000 hours. [2]
