It doesn't come out right that 26 litres is half a tank, so I will have to get more info next time it is "filled" and confirm the tank's gauge too.
The existing 1/2 or 50% plus an addition 30% = 80%, ie 26 litres represents ~1/3 of a tank or 30%.
Now I have had several coffees, this almost makes sense!
So the tank gauge reads about 3/4 when the tank is "full" which is the 80%, and it sends to the range hood monitor which then shows four lights as "full" (from a previous thread on here when I was asking about that)
So I went in with the tank gauge down from 3/4 to showing 1/2 (range hood was at three lights) and they put in (I think it was) 26 litres and the tank was full again.
So "1/2" isn't half either! :) Full would be about 3 x 26 = 78 litres or about 20.5 gallons , which is off because my reading of "1/2" was very approximate so it is all in the ball park for around 19 gallons, so now I think I get it! :) Oops, that is just when you get in trouble---.
