Fuel Tank Capacity
The fuel tank specification is 11.9 gallons - yet the most I can ever add is about 9.8 gallons. At that level I received an engine trouble light and the gas engine turned off. Is this a sensor or computer issue? Anyone experience the same thing? I will call the dealer tomorrow. Thanks.

Let us know what the dealer found out. The only "normal" situation for the tank to hold just 9.8 gallons would be for those of us who live in a cold winter environment when the flexible tank size decreases. |

My understanding is the bladder in the U.S. version is the cause.
