The manual says 5.41 +/-0.13 U.S. gallons or 20.5 +/-0.5 liter. I just checked that as I thought it was 5.3gallon and 20 liter. For those of you in the UK it shows 4.51 +/-0.11 gallon. Supposedly 1.3 gallons U.S. (5 l) is for reserve.
Has anybody run one out of fuel to see what they will actually hold?
I have stopped for gas with just over 40 miles on reserve showing and only put 4.5 gallons in it. Since my mileage normally runs close to 40mpg +/-2mpg I figure 70 miles or more on reserve but I am in no hurry to find out. I've thought about going for a ride with some spare fuel on board but figure it is easier if somebody else has found out by accident or on purpose. I am not sure how well the fuel pump will empty the tank.
Normal cruising on a trip my reserve comes on between 140 to 150 miles.
