I own a 1969 Cessna Model 172K it has a 180HP engine and can weigh 1451 lbs. and can carry (useful load*) an additional 1049 lbs. for a total of 2500 lbs.
*Useful Load is the weight of fuel, oil and all passengers, luggage and cargo.
In this case if the tanks are full @6 lbs/gallon= 42(6)= 252 pounds fuel.
That leaves 797 lbs for all other weight loaded into the plane. In addition, there are certain areas of the plane that can carry maximum weights like the cargo area and is limited because of CG or Center of Gravity. The balance of a plane must be maintained by the weight distribution or the weight can overcome the ability to compensate with the airplane controls, thereby rendering the plane unable to fly correctly in the airplanes designed CG envelope.
