Eric, the tank holds real close to 3 gallons, +/-.  However, the fill
process vents and stops the delivery when full, is the way I have always
understood the fill.  The most I have ever gotten at a fill was 2.8
gallons.  My camper manual includes the capacity, but it is in the van
which is at another location right now.  BTW, that manual is a real doozy.
Every other page is in French, but it is not English and French duplicates
(complete).  Only half is in English, half in French.  I can read a bit of
French, so I have a complete manual, but someone illiterate in one or the
other language would have only half a manual, in effect.  Really strange,
and interesting to switch languages page by page.  Must be a Canadian
manual, for our biliterate brethen from a country with two official
languages.
