useable gas tank capacity

[stx22]

anybody have any idea how much of the 10 gallon tank capacity is actually useable? In other words, how much can you put in after you run dry? I've had some sleds that still had as much as 1-1/2 to 2 gal left when they would quit. Thanks.

Ran mine down to less than a gallon left and she still chugged right along...

ran mine out to empty the carbs and it will suck the tank right down to fumes .

I pull out the insert in the tank fill, that way you can get it full. You just have to be sure you leave it down a gallon or so when you go to store it. You also have to make sure the vent hose is routed up to the handle bars so the gas doesn't flow out the vent.

Do you have an idea how much was left when the bottom bar went out on the fuel gauge?
