fuel capacity

Our main tank is 26x23x95 and aux is 27x10x61. Fill to 3" from top. Anyway thanks for the help, Mark

Sounds like a gauge thing , as you say . According to the book on our 86 , standard equipment fuel capacity was 203 /55 . The build sheet shows 217 /61 . There are two fuel gauges on the coach . I filled up for the first time,  with the tanks linked , held 126 gal. The gauges were indicating a tick over half before filling . After 675 miles the gauges are at roughly 5/8 . While I do not trust them , it seems that the gauges may be in the ball park based on 5.5mpg . Will know more when I refill in a couple of weeks. 
Are you pulling your stacker with the coach ?
