The 182R 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 182R as a model-specific reference rather than assuming that data from another 182 variant automatically apply.

FAA TCDS 3A13 identifies 92 U.S. gallons total / 88 gallons usable.

Fuel-system applicability can vary by serial number on some 182R aircraft. Use the approved aircraft documentation rather than assuming the largest listed capacity applies to every airplane.
