The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress typically carried around 1,800 gallons of fuel in its internal tanks. This capacity allowed it to achieve a combat radius of approximately 1,000 miles, depending on its payload and mission profile. The fuel load could vary slightly based on the specific model and modifications of the aircraft.

Why did the US use B29s instead of B17s to strike Japan?

Even later models B-17s, such as the B-17E and B-17F, which had additional fuel tanks called "Tokyo tanks" in the outer wingtips, lacked the range for the round trip to Japan and back from the island bases available, or from those in China. After Iwo Jima and Okinawa were captured airbases on them were within B-17 range of Japan, but by that time the 20th AF B-29s had been doing a very thorough job of it for months from the Marianas. The B-29 could also carry a much larger bombload than the B-17. The B-17 was a design from the mid 1930s, and lacked a pressurized interior, and was really outdated by the end of the war. The only heavy bomber retained after the war was the B-29.
