Hi all. My Ercoupe, serial # 3955 seems to have 18 Gallon total fuel capacity in the wings. While I ones managed to squeeze 17 Gallons in I learned that they quickly overflow when the fuel heats up in the sun. So I fill 16 Gallons in when the wing tanks are empty and consider that as usable fuel. In your case I would suspect having the older , smaller tanks. Have they been 7 Gallon or 8 ?
