As I understand it, the F-15C has 2070 USG internal fuel and the F-15E has 2019 USG.

Is the F-15D the same as the F-15E?

The F-15A carries less than the F-15C, and the F-15B would be the lowest of the bunch.

I don't know how much it is to the pound, but according to the flightsim F-15 by Jane's, the E-model can carry 27000+ lbs of fuel. I don't know the exact number offhand, and I have NFC how many pounds to a gallon for jet fuel.

JP-4 used to be, depending on the temperature, around 6.5 lbs per gallon IIRC.

1 seaters and 2 seaters have the same fuel capacity. A standard combat config C-model has 2 bags on it and holds about 22000 Pounds, clean is around 13 or 14K. A models will be approx 2K less and E's will be about 7K higher than the C model if it has CFTs on it.
