Today I siphoned out all the fuel until the tank was dry (I don't
know if the fuel on the discharge side of the tank ran to the "filler" side of the tank as the fuel level went down). Had the bike "perfectly level" during siphoning and filling. Added fuel with a "known quantity" container. 3 gallons filled the tank to within 1/8" of the front of the bottom of the filler neck. I knew the tank would not hold 4 gallons, but expected it to be well over 3 gallons. Anyone else done this? Comments Please.
