It is about 492 miles ;0) or yes in short 2 days ;o) --- Messed up isn't it
a 7 gallon reserve tank, they really do not want you calling the 800# ;o)

Same here. I went all the way down to the empty line and only pumped 18
gallons into the thing. I was beginning to wonder if I got gypped on the
larger fuel tank, but I guess not since you guys have the same deal. I also
am wondering how much farther you can run once the needle is on empty.
Maybe one day....
