I measured mine at very close to 10 litres and that should hold good in
the air in roughly level flight as the return line empties into the
reserve side keeping it constantly topped up in spite of turbulence. At
least it should do, if you have got your plumbing right - ref the
directive and other info relating to the GBYSA disaster last year.
