Fuel tank

hi all, just wondering if you know what size gas tank my truck has. its a 2000 f250 with the extended cab, and the short bed. i have read 29 somewhere, and 38 in the manual, but i read online that the 6.75ft bed has a 29. thanks

the guage and the lie-o-meter (if you have one) are really just a ruff guess...

even when it says your on empty you still have some gas left.

but its NOT a good idea to drive teh truck with a low fuel level.. the fuel pump is designed to be submersed in fuel all the time to aid in cooling..try to never let teh guage go below 1/4 tank

ps and yes the shortbox is 29 Gallon

I had the same truck. 29 gal is what the factory says, but if you keep nursing in fuel after the pumps clicks off, you can squeeze in 31 gallons.

jammer
