Actual tank size?

[Ravenshoe]

I've been scouring the boards and can't find what I'm looking for - hope you all can help!

I have a GTX 155 (great machine!). It has a 16 gallon (60 litre) tank as per the manual. First question, is that a US or Imperial gallon? Difference is small, 1US gal = 0.8CA gal, but it might help me with the next question. It's manufactured in Canada so I'm thinking it's Imperial, but it's also an international brand, so not sure!

Second question. I came back from a longer cruise with two bars left on the gauge and was able to fill it with about 40 liters (~9 gallons). Is the reserve tank really around 20 litres (4gallons)??? Seems a bit generous for reserve. Does anyone know what the reserve capacity should be?

I'm just trying to figure out where the 60 litre documented fuel capacity is coming from, seems to be a lot less.

Thanks!!

4 liters is almost the same as a US gallon , if you had 20 liters left then that is the reserve minus a liter or two that it can't suck up at the bottom.

First low fuel beep = 1/4 tank remaining.

Cool. That makes a lot more sense to me now.
