How big is the SEEG tank, for real
« on: March 13, 2005, 05:02:09 PM »
I am not used to riding alone, but today, I watched my gas tank go lower and lower, and was really waiting for the light to come on before filling. Finally, I was done for the day, so last thing I did was just top off the tank.  Well my top off was 5.51 gallons. I thought we had a 5 gallon tank.  When was the light going to come on?  Got me to wondering, what is the tank capacity?  [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

If I fill up as soon as my "low fuel light" comes on then I can put about 4.8 gals. in.  I have run it so low that it took about 5.4 gal. and the motor had died and I coasted into the station.

OK, I am so sorry.  I am supposed to wear glasses, especially if I want to really see anything.  I saw the 5 gallons correctly, but studying my receipt this morning, I see that I only put 5.051 gallons.  Still would have thought the light would have come on, but I feel so much better hearing that all of you have put much more than the actual stated 5 gallons. I know, hanging head, on an electronic fuel system, it is much better to keep the top half full then the bottom half.   [smiley=nervous.gif]

I don't trust the low fuel light either. I look for gas when it hits 1/4..when I first got it the low fuel light came on and I figure 1/2 gal +- left...went 10 miles and it ran out as I was pulling into a gas station...squeezed 5.3 in. They can re-adjust the float to make it more accurate..not worth it for me to have it in the shop.

I've never trusted a fuel gauge nor the low fuel warning light on / in any of my vehicles. They, IMHO, are the most inaccurate devices ever created. Good stuff knowing we can get 5.3 gals in. I always reset my tripometer at fill up and rely on that. BUTTTTT w/ only 88 miles on (winter sucks) I'll need to figure it all out when the temps. rise. Good luck on the warning light thing.

Get about 5.4 in the tank strecthing it as far as I felt comfortable.  When the light comes on have been able to ride 25 miles and not run out.

Dang!  I wish that I'd known of the over-sized gas tank option when I got my b&b seeg.  It would be great to have that extra fuel capacity that ya'll have on those long runs.  Did they somehow put a surpentine filler neck in there to keep the outside dimensions the same yet offer the increased capacity?  Does it have a part # ?

I thought you folks were on crack until I filled my tank this morning after running with the low fuel light on back and forth to work for 2 days.  I put in 5.16 gallons.
