I made the previous statement from memory, which is questionable of late.  So I 
did some checking into the Thomason book and it states
the 1500 tank holds 7.24 gallons (but doean't say if it is imperial or US... 
probably imperial)  Converting to US Gallons, that makes
8.71 gallons.

The earlier ones calculate out to 9.9 US gallons.  So I was close!!!
