I just put 4.221 gallons of gas in my PC!
Written by tachwinder1 on 9/26/2010 at 11:40 pm

I have only owned my PC for 1500 miles so far. Usually I have filled up when the
gauge hit the red mark at which time the tank took about 3 gallons to fill it.
Today I was out dual sport riding tiny back roads and state truck trails
(actually one lane fire road) on my Sportster. I got back to town and had 170
miles on trip meter and put 3.15 gallons in the 3.3 gallon tank. Close enough I
would say.
Regards,
Terry
