I've never put in more than 16 gallons though. I think the needle would break off before you had to fill the thing with 18.5

needle wouldnt break off, but your car would stop running. i used mine till it it was "dry" and it only filled with 17.43 gallons, so somewhere there was a little over a gallon that it didnt want to give me.
