The 182M forms part of the long-running Skylane development sequence. Changes between adjacent 182 variants include engine applicability, certified weight, fuel-system arrangement and loading details.
For that reason this page treats the 182M as a model-specific reference rather than assuming that data from another 182 variant automatically apply.

FAA TCDS 3A13 identifies 65 U.S. gallons total / 60 gallons usable.
Fuel-system applicability can vary by serial number on some 182M aircraft. Use the approved aircraft documentation rather than assuming the largest listed capacity applies to every airplane.
Cessna 182M model applicability and configuration
This page applies specifically to the Cessna 182M Skylane. Adjacent Cessna 182 variants can differ in engine, maximum weight, fuel capacity, baggage arrangement and center-of-gravity limits.
Always verify the aircraft serial number, current approved POH/AFM, equipment, modifications and current weight-and-balance record.
