I have nothing against IMS, own several of their products myself. But they seem to be consistently optimistic about their tank capacities. They claimed that their plastic KLR tank would hold "close to 7 gallons". I bought one and could barely squeeze 5.5 gallons into it. I know a couple others that had the same problem. Gino
