Hey Jeff,

It seems that your formula for fuel and water is right on target.
Loaded for a trip, one passenger and a seven pound dog.

Our 88 FC is 12780 Front and 18860 rear, total 31640. Our difference
is, we had full fuel and about 1/4 water. The fuel & water really
helps to take weight off of the front axle.
