Simple question but what is the capacity of the standard Marlin fuel tank?

Thanks

Marlin say that it's 8 on the parts list. I managed to put around 8 gallons in mine before the SVA.

I think I remember 25 litres being mentioned for the bigger tank option in the 5Exi. That fits with quantities I remember filling up with. Still too small really - I keep wondering where I could fit another 10 litres or so of capacity in.

The standard tank is 5 gallons, takes about 22 ltrs from empty (just filled mine up and thats how much it took to brim it)

I have the larger tank, and got about 200 miles with the T series.

It worked out 34-35 MPG.

I have the 5 gallon tank, tend to fill up about every 150 miles max, running a 1600K.

Honda k20a2 - 200 miles is do-able on the road quite easily it seems (not sure quite how close that is to empty), and about 70-100 on track I'd estimate.
