I had to refill yesterday and put in around 15.7 gallons, the needle was at about 1/8 full so you do the math.
edit: ok couldn't help it...
15.7 is approx. 7/8 of the tank so:
7/8(capacity) = 15.7
(capacity) = (8/7)15.7
which is 17.94 and is quite close to the 17.4g mentioned in the thread posted above...

Referring to the old thread, recently my gas light was blinking on and off, and I put around 13.5 gallons into the tank. Does the gas light come on when you get to the "reserve" 2.7 gallons?

I was reading a book on watercooled porches and if memory serves the 85 1/2 and better had roughly 20 gallon tanks and pre 85 had around 17 gallons. I know when i was on a little less than a quarter i put in 15 gallons in my 85 1/2.
