97 gallons is the fuel tank capacity, of which 94 gallons are useable. Usually the 3 unusable gallons are included in the tare weight.

The TARE weight of the Hurricane IA Rotol with bullet proof windshield and armour plate used in the RAF test was 4982 lbs/2265 kgs, which is 744 lbs less than the TARE weight of the game aircraft which is listed as 2603 kgs/ 5726 lbs.
4982lbs is the weight of the aircraft without bullet proof windshield and armor. These items were not actually fitted, but the plane was ballasted instead and the extra weight is included in the service load.
