What is the capacity of the fuel tank on this mower? Does it hold 2.0 gallons of gas or does it hold 0.2 gallon of gas? Thank you for your time!

John,It's a typical push mower size tank. I would say it holds a little less than a qt. (32 oz.) of gas about 26 oz. or so. Had good luck with the lawnmower so far starts up on 1st pull don't even need to set the choke its automatic I believe. Never had a lawnmower that starts so simple and easy like this one.

I haven't measured the gasoline tank, but it certainly doesn't hold 2 gallons. Actually, with my first fill, I quickly overflowed the tank.....so maybe 0.2 gallons is about right!

I pushed this to my husband to answer, but not sure when he'll be able to respond quickly...I can tell you that I can mow grass with this mower for about 40 minutes without refueling - but I don't think it holds 2 gallons. Maybe 1 gallon? It's a tough little mower. Enjoying it so far. My only complaint is that if the collection bag is a tad small. So if you use it, it needs to be dumped frequently. Otherwise, awesome little mower for the price!

there's no way it holds 2 gallons of gas. so, i'd have to say it is .2 gallons.

Well, I used one of their cans (32 ounces?) for my 2000 Mustang tank. What's that capacity? 16 gallons? 20 gallons? I admit I don't exactly know. Off hand, I would suggest 2 cans for your tractor. Don't be in a big hurry for it to dry. It'll take several days.

All most any garden / lawn equipment dealer that repairs mowers probably can help you, should always use treated gas and do not let them sit for any length of time with gas in them. Good Luck

The fuel capacity of the tank is 1.3 pints. When I received mine I added just a splash of coleman fuel into the tank to test it out and I was very impressed on how long the lantern ran on such a minimal amount of fuel. I intentionally added just a small amount so I could test it out and then store it empty. It ran for hours on that tiny amount of fuel.

Regular gas works fine, you do not need to mix on this mower this is a 4 cycle engine. The mower comes with an octane enhancer (packet) and I added it for the first couple fill-ups, but it is not needed. I've been using it for about a year and it starts with the first pull. Remember to change the oil at the start of every season.

The gas tank holds 1.1 gallon of gas. Ours ran for almost 11 hours on one tank.

Dont take this 1st sentence wrong but, - 1st off I have NO Idea how U took your measurements nor do I measure in 3rd's. Nor did I care the Gallonage of this tank when I bought it so~~~ Try this in the search space = type in your murray model # of your mower followed by the words GAS TANK = and see what comes up. if Amazon fails try google or bing for a search. My murray 40 or 42" riding mower has a real long weird model number. My tank is close to what u describe but it is only 7" not 8.5 wide. NEXT Key point is the mounting bosses (mounting screw holes) so U need an exact murray model #. It will be on your owners manual or/and on a tag on the mower Lastly - if U are good enough to get lost on a Rubbicks cube then U are wise enough to pull your tank w/out pulling the steering wheel, lol. Gently wedge twist and turn it = it has 1 combination to come out and in. Write me back if U need more help. ; )

The description on listing is accurate. 68#. mower is very light when compared to gas alternative.

I believe it has a 1.1 gallon tank . I've run it for 10-12 hours close to 50% before I ran out of gas.

I am unsure to this, does the lawn tractor still run? maybe put some new gas with the old and try to run it. The problem is that you need to have the shaker hose above where you want to drain. I am unsure if you understand what I am trying to say. Say a gallon of gas needs to be above where you want it to go, so maybe if you can get the lawn tractor on some higher ground and empty to another bucket it may not work.I say just add new gas to the old gas and use the tractor, maybe put some additives for long standing gas. I hope this helps, good luck.

My advice is...don't buy this mower. I stored the battery over the winter in my garage which is insulated from the elements. Not too hot, not too cold. When I went to install it this spring, the battery had swollen and would not fit into the mower without a great deal of force. Once inserted, I could only get about 15minutes of use out of it. I ended up buying a new mower, a gas-powered Honda, this spring and it's been flawless. As much as I want to be environmentally correct, this mower wouldn't let me achieve that end. Good luck.

Sorry Donald S., I have know idea what a 2 cycle engine is. It seems to work pretty good though. One of my guy friends fixed the wheel for me so that turned out good. I have about a half acre to mow and it plows right through the grass with no problem. It seems to be pretty good on gas too. If it weren't self propelled though, I would never be able to finish the lawn. The key starter works like a charm too. Sorry I can't help you more.

Well, I am not optimistic, but you can try it. The gunk in your tank is only part of the problem. Your carburator may be gummed up and fuel line may be clogged. If this is a good mower, I would consider having a small engine mechanic take off your carb and tank, clean and soak, put back on, and do a tune-up. Or you could do it yourself. If you use an engine cleaner, you might buy one in a spray can with a straw so you can spray into gummed up nooks and crannies of carb or tank.

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

Gas tank is 1.1 gal. and up to 8 hours on low demand. I just went to the Dolphins game and the gas lasted 5 hours on full load.

It's loader then my lawn mower and it leaks gas like crazy. When I first got it, it wouldn't even start. Why? because the spark plug was broken in half. Do yourself a favor and don't buy it.

Carb float sticks, so fuel leaks bad... I converted to tri-fuel, no issues on propane. Before I had to take apart the carb each time and fix the float.
