Yep - I have that same min. fluid number for takeoff in icing conditions.  Just not recalling seeing anything about EW with tank full.  My IA swears the fluid isn't included as EW, but I'll have a closer read through it when I get home to understand it better.  I keep the tank full most of the time in-between exercising the system anyway, so have been flight-planning 54 pounds "light" all this time.  I guess it beats planning the other way incorrectly

Here's the W&B page that shows the installation of the TKS system.   It states, in genuine ink, that the TKS system weight includes fluid.

I'm convinced; fluid is included in yours. I wonder if this varies from shop to shop. Some include it and some don't. I looked again at mine and they calculated the system only; it took about a 40 lb hit in UL. With full fluid my system weighs about 95 lbs.
