A little over 13 Gal., if my memory serves me right. On the '84 there is a pressure test port in the form of an inline tee in the fuel supply line. If the photos in the Bentley are reliable, there appears to be a similar test port in the left injector fuel rail of the '80 air-cooled fuel system. All you need to do is remove the plug from the tee, slip (i.e., force) on a hose and let the fuel pump do all the work. About the biggest problem is finding enough containers to hold all the fuel. It's funny how indiscreet in the selection of containers one can become after about the tenth gallon. Rich |
