Default SG tank


Hi,

I wonder how I have managed to tank 19,7 Litres at the gasoline station into my SG tank?

19,7 litre = 5,20418941 US gallons

And another thing is that the back end of the tank is very unsymetric, when I remove the seat and look at the en fo the tank, the left side goes as a straight line like cutted straight and the right side does a curve.

Normal?

-Mikael

It might be that the gasoline stations pump need to be reclibrated also but I don“t think so

May be the case but also realize that the manufacturer has to state the minimum capacity only and maybe due to variances in the manufacturing process some tanks may very well indeed exceed the stated capacity.
