I know what the tank is supposed to hold. I put in more than 15 gal in a regular basis so I know it' s not 15 gal.

I've run mine dry even that it won't start a few times, and the most I've ever been able to put in it is about 17.5

Same as me...my manual says 18.5 but just north of 17 is the most I have ever been able to put in.

Does that prove your tank -or- uncover mafia trimmed filling station gauge?

Gas stations may rob with trimmed chips which are ok on the defined inspection quantities but lag behind on other amounts.

You probably have simply not run it as low as you think. I ROUTINELY put in more than 15, and I once had it shut off at idle at the pump, and it took about 17.5
