Cessna T182 history and development

The T182 represents a distinct development branch within the Skylane family. Cessna changed engines, landing-gear arrangement, fuel systems and certificated loading limits across the 182 series.

For this reason, this page treats the T182 as a separate model rather than assuming that loading information from another Skylane version applies automatically.

Cessna T182 fuel capacity

FAA type-certificate data identify 92 U.S. gallons total / 88 gallons usable.

The applicable aircraft POH/AFM and serial number remain controlling for operational fuel loading.

WBcalc does not currently provide a model-specific T182 calculator. Do not substitute another Cessna 182 calculator for this model unless the approved aircraft data explicitly establish equivalent applicability.

Always verify aircraft applicability. Check the current POH or AFM, equipment list and weight and balance records for the individual aircraft.
