Logistics question
« on: 24 December 2017, 20:32:13 »
 So, trying to compute some things so I have some questions.

 Are cargo amounts standard ton or metric tons? Case in point, the US primary military fuel tanker carry's 2500 gallons of fuel. I have been assuming most things are metric ton. Even the above fuel vehicle since metric ton would roughly be 9 tons of fuel at average of 256 gallons to metric ton.

 I know there are roughly 31.75 gallons to a US short ton, 2000 lbs / 7.8 (gallon weight)

 In BT, I would assume we use the Coolant truck which has roughly 5 tons of space (depending on version), so 1280 gallons of carry capacity.

 Reason I ask, is I tend to have a large support force of ICE non combat vehicles and am curious as to my fuel transport needs.

Last I checked, everything in BattleTech is metric.  Imperial units might still be used in some (particularly obstinate) places on Terra, but nowhere else.
