Huckelberry5,
With the insulation on the straps, tank in place and the straps bolted to the frame their is a minimal amount of space left. This is for expansion of the tank when full. Answer your question?

PS= you are talking about a CR's Cobra-no?

Are the gas tanks standard issue on the CR's? Capacity? Sending unit?

Mine is 10 to maybe 12 gallons. Sending unit is worthless so I have no idea how much fuel I have. So I always feel the need to fill 'er up.

I got my kit in "99 and the tank capacity is 19 gallons, and it came with the
kit. The sending unit only makes it to 1/2 full on the gauge so I watch the
odometer more than the gauge.

Ohio Ken,
That post is 7 years old but thanks for the response...finally, just kidding with you. Since then I have run my car out of gas and it took 14 gallons to fill. Also I found that a lack of a good ground was preventing my gauge to work properly. Apparently incidental tank to chassis contact causes a gauge to read erratically. A proper ground between the tank and chassis solved that problem.
19 gallons sounds good.
Thanks,
John

10 to 12 gallons seems a ridiculously small tank for a Cobra. You must spend half of every trip stranding at the gas station. 
I've just replaced my standard Kirkham tank, which I think was around 30 gallons with the original style 42 gallon tank, which will come in very handy for my road trip to Italy in September.
