Jay, the tank is advertised (in the Camper manual) to accept three
gallons.  Mine takes 2.8 from empty until the bleed valve starts venting
liquid.  Bleed valve is mounted at the "80% WC (water capacity)" point as
is standard.

All of this depends on filling on a level surface.  Aft or left-side high
will overfill; Forward or right-side high will underfill.  At the taxi
company in Arbroath Scotland their fill was on a noticeable hill and we
never got more than 1.5 gallons from empty.
