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....
