Just read of a terrible accident in Wyoming involving a Michael Marr.  Is
this our Michael Marr?

I would guess that the difference is due to the difference in Imperial pints
(20 oz.) vs. US pints (16 oz.).  I f you adjust for this difference, 10 Imp.

Pints = 6.25 US quarts, which would account for the difference you observed.

I could confirm this by looking in the manual but it is in the garage and I
am in the middle of something right now.
