The Harrier can take off STOL or VTOL. 

Can anyone tell me what are the maximum take-off weights for the
	different types of take off ?  
Aside from reduced maximum take-off weight are there additional
	ordnance restrictions for VTOL take-off?
	(perhaps safety related?) 
Under maximum weight VTOL take-off, how much fuel is consumed taking
	off and transitioning to horizontal flight?

In particular, I am interested in information about the UK Sea Harrier
FRS.1 version, but information about other variants is welcome also.
