John Deere SST15 fuel planning notes
Fuel capacity note
The useful refueling spec here is 2.5 gal (9.5 L). It tells you tank size; it does not guarantee hours of operation under load.
Refill planning
For an empty-to-full refill on the John Deere SST15, plan for 1 x 5-gal can or 1 x 10-L jug. Real fill amount can be slightly lower if fuel remains in the tank.
Fuel type note
The John Deere SST15 fuel type is gasoline. Wrong fuel is a much bigger problem than a slightly short top-up.
Full tank weight
For transport and storage planning, the John Deere SST15 full tank fuel load is roughly 15 lb (7 kg) of gasoline. Actual weight varies slightly by fuel blend and temperature.
