D2 seat tank capacity ?

[quote="ozcat"]Learned gentlemen,

Does anyone know that capacity of my 1956 D2-5U seat fuel tank ?
Looked at the manuals I have and could not find anything. Nor on the web.
One thread mentioned 20 gallons on the later models. I am assuming that is US gallons.....
Hope one of you knowledgable chaps can help me out.
Thanks and regards,

Check the dip stick. Mine goes to 26 gallons. Yes, that's US gallons.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for getting back to me.
I did check the dipstick but it had nothing.
I will go with 26 gals.
I appreciate your help.
Regards,
Chris/ozcat

Chris, your gauge might be non-original, since the dipsticks have the fuel quantity engraved on them. If you can find someone to lend you theirs, you can get one made up with the quantities correctly scribed.
Cheers,

Both are correct 20 US gallons until s/n 13237 then 26 US Gallons.
