I thought American Standards with the exception of the 81 were 5.3 gal. and all the Specials were 3.8 gal.2H7 (79) owned since '89
3H3 owned since '06

They are. What is on that chart is in British(Imperial) Gallons.
5.3 = 6.36gals
4.4 = 5.28gals
3.3 = 3.96galsRichardComment

UK gallons are a little bigger than US gallons.
I don't know what the conversion factors are.
Here's what I've got from the manual:

The american H model (aka venturer) has a bigger tank than the american E, F, or G standards. It is about a US gallon more.Skids (Sid Hansen)

Venturer Fuel tank appearance
Guys...does the tank have the fuel gage mounted in the side of the tank?
Want to know how I can tell a 6 gal tank from others w/o actually comparing
the size in person.Comment

The only way to do that is to look closely at the knee indent in the side of the tank. On the 'standard', the forward edge of the indent is very rounded, the larger Venturer has this line 'straighter'. Once you realize this, it's fairly obvious....Originally posted by Irukandji View PostFast, Cheap, Reliable... Pick any two

Check out the angle between the filler cap and the front of the tank.
This is the smaller standard tank...
This is the larger standard tank...quite a hump

Hmm...I think I need a closer look. Someone should probably go ahead and send me a Venturer tank so I can make sure I know the difference
