BAe 146-200 fuel tanks?

I am trying to find out the exact information about the US Gallon capacity for each of the 4 wing tanks (2 per side) and then also the capacity for the center tank.

I have found the total fuel capacity... and I know that the aircraft has four tanks in the wings and one center tank.  

I have looked at the aircraft.cfg files for a couple of the available fs2004 models of the 146-200... and they vary widely as to how they portray the fuel loading....... for example, one has almost the whole load in the center tanks... and the other has it mainly in one tank on each wing.  Neither is correct.  

I have searched all the search terms on the net that I can think of... and no luck.

Anyone know the specifics?  Thanks.

I can tell you that the left and right tank are 1219 US gals / 1015 Imp Gals / 4614 litres and the centre tank is 661 Us gals / 550 Imp gals / 2500 litres

There are also Aux tanks in the root / fairing 155 US gals each

But thats all I can find out.

Info from My Toby Vickers and his mass of 146 info / books / manuals etc!!!

His BAE146 site: http://www.shockcone.co.uk/bae146
