About 2.7 gallons in practice -- if you get much more than that you're likely filling on a downslope, which isn't safe because it reduces the required 20% headspace (in Arbroath, Scotland, the local taxi company had their pump on a considerable upslope, and we never got more than a gallon in the tank before it vented). d -- David Beierl - Providence RI USA -- http://pws.prserv.net/synergy/Vanagon/ '89 Po' White Star "Scamp"
