Default Fuel capacity ? Is this right ?
Ok been having fuel issues and hopefully resolved now. But indy shop said the Deuce tank is basically "full" at 4 gallons. I looked online and fuel capacity shows as 4.9. Is that .9 in the fuel line/pump ?

4.9 tank...

Pitch/angle of tank, fuel pump and other electronics stuffed into the tank.... I can't imagine that takes up .9 but you won't ever get 4.9 on a fill up..

Last time I drained the tank to take out the fuel pump, and refilled I think I got 4.5 gallons out of my Deuce. So I guess the pump and all the extra stuff in there takes up about a half a gallon.
