[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 427052, member: 18789"] Sounds like you have the "15" gallon tank. If you want 20 gallons, then just pull the vent tube out of the tank, cut down to 2-3", and reinsert. Sounds like you also have some inaccuracy in your fuel pump assembly, so I'd watch out and fill up when you get to 200 miles or so to prevent this happening, or drop the tank and fix the fuel sender. The fuel tank capacity mod is easy, just look it up on YouTube. You may have some sort of blockage or issue with your fuel pickup if you're only able to get 12.5 gallons back in after pretty much running out of fuel. It may not be picking up the bottom few inches of fuel in the tank or something. Been a long time since I was limited to 15 gallons so I'm not really sure. I did run mine to below E a few times and I believe I was able to put in around 13.5-14 gallons with no sputtering or running out of fuel ever. So, who knows. [/QUOTE]
