Ten pounds nominal, according to some documentation that I used to
have.  Camper manual, likely.  About 2.7 gallons in practice -- if
you get much more than that you're likely filling on a downslope,
which isn't safe because it reduces the required 20% headspace (in
Arbroath, Scotland, the local taxi company had their pump on a
considerable upslope, and we never got more than a gallon in the tank
before it vented).
