Default Extra diesel fuel..

Just curious.. (sorry my bad english)

I read some place on the net, that american fleet boat carried with them extra diesel fuel to increase the range, and this extra diesel fuel was stored in ballast tanks that was originally designed for sea water (ballast). And this is the reason for them sitting so deep in the water (stern tip of the hull is below the surface in some pictures i seen).

My question is: what was the actually range with diesel in the ballast tank and is this modelled in the sim? or is the range just with diesel in the fuel tanks only?
