There is in fact NO such aircraft. The "Cessna 406 Bushplane" in the book "Hatchet" is purely fictional.

how much fuel does a 406 Cessna take
Range depends on winds obviously, but airborne endurance is about 6.5 hours in the air roughly depending on what power settings you use...awesome plane to fly
The rated (by the company) range of a Cessna 406 is 1,327 miles. Expect a little less than that as time goes on and less with reserves.

A Cessna 406 Can Approximatetly fly 28 800 Miles At 160mph for 3 hours Since A Regular Cessna's Fuel tank capacity is 6.5 Hours.
Depends on the aircraft. A Cessna 172 will hold 56 gallons of fuel. A C-5 Galaxy holds over 51,000 gallons, but it has many fuel tanks for a few reasons--they can pump fuel from tank to tank to help balance the plane, and it's easier to get fifty thousand gallons of fuel in the plane if they put it in a lot of little tanks rather than one the size of a swimming pool.
They range from about 22 gal to several hundred depending on the model.
Specify the type of plane; it varies.
conor is a tank way more than frank
A Cesna 172 with a full tank of gas can fly upwards of 6 to 7 hours if flown at higher altitude. The plane uses less fuel at higher altitude and thus can go further. If flown faster at lower altitude, it won't go far at all.
It depends on the plane. Some private/borderline ultralight planes only have a range of 100 miles or less, while commercial planes can fly across the Atlantic.
