CB750- K4-5 fuel tank capacity

Too lazy to look it up. How much does a K4-5 tank (left side petcock) hold?

18 litres? Equivalent to 4.76 gallons or 3.96 gallons, depending on which side of the Atlantic you're on. I had a left-hand-side petcock tank on my first K1, brilliant, and probably transplanted from a later model. You'll have to go out and measure capacity to be sure.
71 or thereabouts 750 K1 - this one should have been put down

Thanks. Yeah, my bike is a US K2, originally had a right side petcock. Only model I've ever seen like that (Early CB750 K0,K1, K2, etc.) Really dumb.

When I rebuilt it I promised myself a Left side petcock, and to get one I ended up with a tank with some pin holes in it. I had it repaired amd lined and never was sure how much it would hold. I'm going with the 4.5gallon from the "specs" website.

I thought the lining might take up some room, but if so, not much.
