The little tank was to keep the weight down so that the 81's would be

NRC have been running 81's from Sydney to Melbourne for five years
without refuelling at Junee. The SRA ran them for a few years before
that.

Besides which, why recommission the fuel facility at Junee when there
is one already in Cootamundra. (Although the SRA/Frightcorpse charge a
fortune to use the damn thing).
