My tank has been updated with a new fill valve and 80% relief valve. When I
filled it after the new parts were installed it took just under 3 gallons.
2.9 or so.  So that's 80%.

Is that the size or the recommended amount?

I seem to remember it should only be filled to a percentage of capacity.

Anyone know the two numbers size and percent to fill?
