Title: Fuel Take Volume
Post by: jdbutler13 on November 25, 2010, 10:27:45 AM
I'm a cold Canadian and sadly its that time to put the bike away for winter. I pushed it as far as I could go, but just like in life it the rubbers don't work you got to stop.
Cold tires suck!
I was trying to look up the volume of the gas take so I could accurately put stabilizer in the tank for winter.
Let me know.
Thanks

Isn't one gallon just short of 4 liters? (~3.75L). 20 Liters would ballpark it to be at least 5 gallons.

3oz/90cc of Sta-Bil and your golden, that's actually a bit more than they call for but it won't cause you any problems

Canada uses imperial gallons, 4.54 litres. American gallon is 3.8 liters.
Note, we Canadians can't spell liters either.

Seems the Americans are the only English Speaking Country to spell it Liters - the rest spell it litres. Neither spelling lets you know how to Pronounce the word. For that it should be spelled leeters. But it won't be changed to that spelling cause it'd mess with too many gas station signs and dictionaries.
