Well, if it's similar to the 82 850GL, I show in the manual that the tank holds 4.5 US gallons and the reserve is 4.76 US quarts.

Suzuki didn't really have anything for the avid touring rider until the introduction of the GS850G. At its heart was a bored out GS750 motor, altered to incorporate shaft drive. The engine was placed in a modified GS1000 frame. Suspension from the GS1000 was softened up for a plush ride (the GS1000 had gas suspension at the front, the GS850 had hydraulic suspension), and tubeless tires were used for the first time by Suzuki. A large 22 liter (5.8 US gallon) tank was fitted for maximum range. The GS850 actually weighed more than the GS1000E, by 29 lbs. The price in 1979 was $2995... a very good price even in those days. Later, Suzuki produced a couple of variations on the theme. Most popular was thecustom styled 'GL' model, which was restyled in a more 'laid back' fashion. All in all, the GS850G has proved to be a long running and bullet proof tourer. Wet weight in 1983 was 604 lbs.

The 1980 GS 850 GL had a much smaller tank tahn the G model. I have never been able to put much more than 2.5 gallons in an almost empty tank. I think it is a 3.2 gallon tank. It is most definately not a 5 gallon as the G has

I have personally found the information in the manuals a little confusing. On the side covers of my bike, it reads "GS850L." According to my Haynes manual, my VIN places my bike as a GT. But then Haynes' description of the GLT ("semi-Chopper" look) seems to apply to my bike as well. Also, I have been using the wiring diagram the Haynes lists for the GLT/GLZ, and find that it seems to match what I'm physically finding on my bike.
With that, chapter 2 in Haynes lists the GLT as having 3.4 gallons, and since my tank looks on the smaller side, I go with that. Plus the few times I've had to put fuel in it (for starting and troubleshooting--no riding yet), I'm sure I've never gotten close to putting 4 gallons or more in.
Hope that helps.
