Default 6 gallon tank yeah, nay?

Well I know this topic has been brought up before.

But today was the first time that I was able to get 6 Gallons of fuel in my tank.

Not sure how many of you folks have, but this is the first time since May 09' that

I have.

And NO, I don't run my tank down to nothing all the time!


So How many have you guys have reached the 6 gallon mark while fueling up?


Ride Safe,

YELLOWBIRD

The most I've put in was 5.80 gallons. I was happy to make it to the gas station.

Hmmm. You might want to look at that pump and make sure it's been tested and calibrated. Should have a sticker on it with the date.

I think around 5 gallons, but I usually fill up with around 40 miles left in the tank.

Here's what you need to do to solve the mystery once and for all.

1 Remove the tank from your bike
2 Set the tank on your kitchen counter top (newly installed granite works best)
3 Using your wife's very best calibrated measuring jugs, measure out half a gallon (2 quarts) of gasoline at a time
4 Pour the gasoline into the tank
5 Releast until the tank is full , noting each time how many quarts you've poured in so far
6 Get back to us.

That'd be great

Cheers,

Dave
