It's a three gallon tank, on all Vanagon Westfalias, but should only be filled to 80% of it's total capacity, about 2.8 gallons. The rest is vapor space, where the liquid propane turns into gas, the form that the appliances use. Overfilling can allow liquid propane to enter the stove, fridge, etc., very dangerous. Always have experienced service station personnel fill the tank, and if they fill it past 2.8 gallons, have them bleed off the excess. The auto-stop tanks, and I believe the new ones, can't be overfilled with the new regulated design. Robert 1982 Westfalia [text/html]
