gas tanks
 

allright.. i got a newb question.

how much gas does each tank hold?

i put thirteen gallons in the lefty yesteday before a good long drive and
18 gallons into the right one.. wtf? both were 'empty"... and struggeling to get to the gas station 300 yards away...

so wtf is the pump screwed or do i really not know what my gas tanks hold..
(i thought it was 15 each)

dang..

nothing wrong with that, you'll never run out and be walking that way...

Plus you have to figure with how long the tank is, how accurate do you think the float will be at lower levels. With my new tank and sending unit its not uncommon for my gauge to swing from half to empty and back to half again during acceleration and cornering.
