i think you can actually put more fuel in but you should leave room for expansion

I just discovered this for myself. I ran out (don't ask) and put in .4 gallons using a milk container, rode 3 miles to the station and filled up with 4.6 gallons. Mine is a 5 gallon capacity with no lift.

They aren't all the same - don't ask which has what tank but the Custom has a 5G tank, and I think late WG has a 4.8G.
