RE: Gas Tank Capacity
I have a 2004 Ford E450 with a 2005 sunseeker le with a 6.8 V 10 my tank is 55 gal.
But I try to never to let it get below 1/4 of a tank, so i never have an issue with the generator fuel line shut off. You just never know when you might need the gen.
Happy traveling

Re: Gas Tank Capacity
Interesting - - thanks for the reply. I was running my generator while in my driveway and it quit as it lost gas suction. the gas gage was reading just above empty. I filled the tank up, it took 40 gallons. Guess there is a 15 gallon reserve after the generator quits. Good info to know.
thanks Dick

Re: Gas Tank Capacity
NorthStar be sure to start and run the genset. I ran mine down to 1/4 tank and the genset shut off as designed. I forgot to re start it and 3 months later it would not start or run. I put on new gas hose, filters and rebuilt the carburetor. The ethanol gas is bad for our genset
