| I ran my car basically out of fuel yesterday (on purpose) so I could fill with E85. I was only able to fit 13 gallons in. I am reading online the stock tank holds 17 but I am skeptical. I know the fuel pickup isn't ideal with the walbro and sock but there can't be 4 gallons lying in the bottom of the tank can there???
I am going to run a few tanks of E85 through it in an effort to dilute out the pumpgas but if I am leaving 4 gallons at a time in the tank it's going to take awhile.
Thanks | |

| When mine is stalling because it's so empty, I can only fit 14 in it. | |

| ^ that is what I had expected to hear. Do you know from experience? It's important that I know for sure so I can figure out when the amount of gas in my tank vs Ethanol is at an acceptable level to tune.
Thanks. | |

| The pump pickup isn't ideal, and it could possibly be leaving fuel in the bottom of the tank FYI. I know you wanted more capacity, it wouldn't hurt to pump out the tank with the fuel pump and pull the lid to see how much is still lurking in there.
