Size of inboard gas tank

[XcellR8]

I recently purchased a 1994 Glastron SSV 170SE boat with an inboard gas tank and was wondering if anyone knew how many litres or gallons it would be? I need to change the oil sensor in the remote oil tank so I want to run a 50:1 mix fin the tank for the first while to ensure it's using oil on it's own.

Sometimes you can find information like that on eBay

ya could mix yer gas in a known size fuel can. i use 5 gal platic cans.
ya could go for the sending unit area of yer fuel tank. for i/o's its a rule to have the fuel tank marked, and it's usually by the sender....for an ob, i don't know if the rule holds true though.
ya could empty the fuel tank. and fill it up with a known amount too.....

I was hoping to avoid the drain/refill method to find out as the tank is about 3/4's full right now and you never know if you get all of the gas out since you can't see it. I do have a round plastic plate in the floor that's partially covered by the back seat so I think I'll try and remove that first. Thanx for the replies.

Remove the access cover. The tank may have it's capacity printed on a label near the level sender. If not, run a couple of remote 6-gal tanks of premix, until you verify the oil injection is working, then switch back to the main tank.

I was initially going to try using a portable tank with premix until I realized that my fuel line connects right to the VRO with no quick connect. I also no longer have a portable boat gas tank as I just sold my old boat.
