Usable fuel tank size R500

I have been filling the tank (5 times) with an indicated ~15 miles DTE and can not get more than an 17.8 gallon fill. The specs show 21.1g tank size. I would like to extend the range between stops as much as possible. Is anyone getting more than 18g in @ an indicated ~empty. May need to hire Kramer.

There are always a few gallons that come up as reserve. I wouldnt worry at all.

My E350 is I think 21.1 gallons and I get only get about 17 to 17.5 in there.
