FFR fuel tank capacity

[lclevert]

Does anyone happen to know the capacity of the new FFR 818 fuel tank?

18 gallons

There's no way it's even close to 18 gallons. Maybe 18 is for the R?

I just did a quick 'n' dirty in car measurement and the passenger side is ~8.5" by 9". It's 46" inches wide which gives a volume around 14 gallons, and that's before you subtract the cut-out for the driver's seat.

I've always assumed it's around 12 (which now seems reasonable,) and have never put in more than 10 gallons.

I have an R and I don't think its anywhere near 18. Closer to 10 or 12. Wondering if anyone knew for sure.

Thanks for the replys.

Found out some specs about the 3 tanks 818s use:

Version 1 FFR Tank - 13.5 gallon 1.2mm steel
Version 2 FFR Tank - 14.5 gallon 1.2mm steel
Boyd Welding Tank - 10 gallon aluminum
