Early 400's had an 18 gallon tank, couldn't see it under the sides of the hood, later 400's and all 450's had 21 gallon tank, stuck below sides of hood 4-5 inches. If you pushed it hard you could burn 3 tanks of gas a day with a 450. 450 burned right around 4 gallons an hour, maybe a bit more.
Plowed one night for the BTO a mile away from home. ALL his diesel's were "Busy" so he hooked his 4020 gas to the 5-14 F-145 plow. Started plowing about 7 PM, half mile rows, 16 rounds per tank of gas running in 4th gear. Diesel's all pulled the same plow in 5th. Gassed up about 11:30, back out and 16 rounds later, about 4 AM I'm gassing up again when the Boss comes out to start chores. Was burning 7 gallons per hour. A diesel pulling the same plow in 5th burned 5 gallons/hour.
