Not necessarily I found that I can and have put 5 gallons or more actually 5.12 in the tank. This was discussed before and it all depends on the height of the stand pipe on the fuel valve. I just treat it like I have a big reserve. Migs in you're case you might check on clipping the stand pipe but I have no idea what that would in tail.

I thought two gallons or more of reserve was excessive, so I pulled the petcock out of the tank and cut off the pipe. I used a tubing cutter. There is a screen that fits over the pipe, so be nice to it.
