What is the actual capacity of the 4 gal. gas tank? When I drain my full tank I only get about 2.5 gals.

I don't know. I have two of these generators and they both hold a full 4 gallons. Maybe, your tank, is partially collasped, or crushed, thereby reducing the capacity. You might let it run out of gas, and then fill it to see how much it takes, rather, than drain it out to measure the amount of gas. Be sure, the generator is level.

The tank is 4gal. If you fill it to the brim. Above the screen. I run this unit every weekend it will hold the fuel. The tank is baffled. Hope this helps.

It's about 2 to 2 1/2 gallons I would estimate. Their guide doesn't say. I use it with a continuous drain and it works perfectly. Very happy with the purchase.

Candra, I am running it in a 3.5 gal tank and it works just fine...smallest one I found with the best warranty.

Sorta, with a little extra capacity.Depending upon the station and temperature, I have filled from 1.2 to 1.5 into the tank based upon THEIR meter. 90% of the time the fill from empty is 1.3 gallons.

I'm sorry it is 2.7 gal. I just looked at the box and it says 1.3 but, that is not correct. I just filled it up with water and it is over 2 gals.

I don't know the answer to that. However, my toilets had the 3.5 gallons per flush tanks on them and I never measured the size of the drain from the tank to the bowl. I just installed the units and they worked fine since. The person answered about this question had to flush many times to get rid of everything, that's the first time I read any bad remarks about the unit.

I think that actual liquid capacity is 5 gallons. I noticed that with 5 gallons, it leaves just enough air space for all of the foam from a fairly active fermentation.

When you get it filled with propane it will hold about 2.25 gallons of propane in the tank. Remember, you only fill it to 75-80% of the tank maximum so slightly over two gallons is about it. Nonetheless, it is very sufficient for most camping needs and the tank is much lighter than steel tanks (about half the weight)

It is a 3 gallon storage tank, however some of the space is reserved for the air bladder. So you never will have a complete 3 gallons.The amount of water that is stored depend on your water pressure. Higher pressure equals more water stored. Water storage is1.5 gallons to 2.5 gallons depending on your incoming water pressure. Average is 2 gallons.

The tank holds 1.5 gallons, not 3 gallons. The unit is rated at 3.0 gallons output per day when running on high.

Gallons are never referred to when discussing propane. I have never seen or heard of a 5 gal. tank for propane.

I usually fill it ( about 1.5- 2 gallons) if that. I'm running it at 80-100% load for about 12 hours and still have gas left over

It depends on the amount of waste during the racking stages. It's "about" 5.5 gallons.

Sorry I can't help with that. I have always used gas. It's the capacity I was after.

2 gal or smaller. I have a Blitz 2 or 2.5 gal gas can with the funnel inside it seems to fit.

I think along the way somewhere I read it was one and a half gallons. But taking into account the filter and feed tube I doubt that its much more than a gallon capacity. I know with mine set at high would run around 8 -10 on a full tank. The only way to know for sure would be to measure the water you put in it. But since mine died on me I cant do that for you. Hope this is some help.
