87 international 8.6 meter fuel tanks

Post by Undecided »

This is a recent purchase. The owners manual states fuel capacity is 140 gallons. The problem is it only holds 35 gallons on each side. I suspect that there are "reserve" tanks but I'm not sure and if so, how do I access them. Please help!

How many fuel fills do you have ? Are you sure you were near empty when you filled them ?

I only have two fuel fills. 1 each side. I was completely empty when I refueled. Unfortunately ran out of gas
