    Fuel tank capacity

    the 3.0 liter motor is about 140hp at the flywheel (unless fuel injected) its not that fuel efficient, burning about 0.41# of fuel per hp per hr in the mid range and about 0.45# of fuel per hp at WOT so at WOT 140 x .45 = 63# of fuel. / 6.82 (#/gallon) is 9.23 gallons of fuel in an hour
