Does anyone know the fuel tank capacity of a 300u? I don't want to run mine empty as that will happen 2 miles from home, plus it will still have some gas below the tube in the bottom. Also, when I put my fuel gauge in the tank (a stick) how far between the bottom of the tank and the top of the tank is half full, due to the tapered bottom? Thanks for reading.

according to the manual it holds 11.25 gallons. To see what is half full, I'dd suggewt, filling the tank with 5.625 gallons of fuel then check it with the stick and somehow mark it.

Sorry i don't know the answer to your question, but I thought I'd give you the link for a free IH triple baffle gas cap in case you don't have one. Click the link. The cap is free an very nice. Andy.

The one we had would work for 3.7 hours and be empty. Echoing what Janicholson said below, if the weather is hot, or the tractor is hot, the gas is also hot. Let it cool down before opening it, and get one of the "improved" gas caps for it.

A 350U holds 10 gallons (and the fuel gets too hot from being enclosed in the tin when working it on heavy tillage) If they are the same tank, the stick will go in about a hand width beyond the bottom of the tube. one half tank is about 70 percent appearing on the stick from the top of the tank, not the neck top. if you see the bottom of the tube it has a little less than a gallon in it.
That is the best data I have, and It has been used quite often. If the tractor is stink hot, do not remove the cap, it will blow the fuel into a deadly gusher into your face, and all over the area. Been there. JimN
