Fuel Tank Capacity

[PBH]

I've never put more than 26 gallons in my 01 4x4

Has anyone ever had a problem with the fuel gauge reading? I have a 2005 XLT, which according to the book, has a 28 gallon fuel tank. At the 1/4 reading on the fuel gauge, it took 16 gallons to fill up. I am still scratching my head on this one. Also, does the model have a low level fuel light? I might just run it down until it comes on then fuel it up and see how many gallons it takes.

The owner's manual lists our 2004 2wd as having a 28 gallon tank.

Hardly any cars have fuel gauges that are exactly right. Escpecially the fuel tanks on trucks, because of there shallow size, it's not unlikely to be a few gallons off.
