Are we talking about a new steel or aluminium tank, I have measured a new alloy
tank and a original steel tank and they are almost identical in size.
I have filled up the OE tank with about 14 gals of water. The poured that into
the new tank and the capacity of the new tank is actually a little larger.

If you are getting that kind of mileage you are not driving it hard and fast!

always thought it was a 12 US gallon tank. Maybe you have lots of crud in your
tank...
I get about 18 MPG and can go over 200 miles between fill ups on long drives

Roger I have the same problem. They say it was supposed to be over 14
gallons or about 54 liters. I ran mine out of gas. Put two gallons into.
Should have been able to fill it with 12 gallons - distance to the station was
less than a mile. I actually put in 8.5 gallons. I looked through the Moss
Cat. and can find no specs. on the capacity of the tank.
So I just have to plan carefully where I am going. Here in NV you can go
long distances between stations.
I wonder how many other folks have the same problem???
