when I fill mine up .,.. that's running on fumes, it takes only 2.6gl ...2005 M620D ... plastic tank, my buddy, S4R, S4, 4.4gl also from the fumes ...
That seems a little weird and quite a bit off. Has your tank expanded a lot?
At 2.6 gallons you would only be getting around 80 +/- miles to the tank...

I can read, no expansion, since new, filled just above the white thing inside the tank, 2.5gl and yes about 80kms not miles to the gallon ... max range is 180kms ...

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

that model has a 3+/- reserve capacity and you must subtract about 0.5L for the pump assembly.
14L - 3.5L = 11.5L = ~3 gal ... not sure what could be going on there. but not really relevant to the thread.
the aluminum tanks will likely hold more fuel, no idea how much.

Partly my fault on the threadjack, sorry.
Looking forward to the progress on the aluminum tanks ducatiz. And, again, keep me in mind for help with the development if need be. Anything to help get this off the ground!

I've got an S2R tank on my S4Rs. With the proper motivation it can be done.

I'll PM you as well. Literally I was saving up for a Beater tank this spring, despite all my whining about the S2R tank. . . .
I knew it!
And I'm in iz.
