B-24s were used to haul fuel to Kunming in September 1944. On this date, 6 September 1944, twenty-four B-24s flew in about 34,000 US gallons according to the Pacific Wrecks website. That means a cargo of about 8300 lb per aircraft, which is consistent with the maximum bombload of a fully equipped B-24J.
