The pilot of a Boeing 767 determines that a total of 22,300 kilograms of jet fuel is needed to fly from Montreal to Edmonton.  A floatstick check finds that there is 11,549 litres of fuel already in the tanks.  How much fuel, expressed in litres, must be added to the tanks?   The density of jet fuel varies with temperature.  For the prevailing conditions take the density of the jet fuel to be 0.803 kg/L or equivalently 1.77 lb/L.
