What the hell.... that's quite a bit of gas. Maybe 3000 pounds??
The 900 could carry 3,000 gallons (barely) but I can't imagine that they would even consider doing a gear-up with that much fuel on board (they would be way over landing weight not mention the fire hazard). 3000 pounds is a normal landing number.
