MMHHHH.... I have a 1987 xlt, I put gas on it when the gas gauge goes almost down (I do not get a warning light), the avg gallons I put in it are 10, Is it possible that my gas gauge is bad or is it possible that I have a smaller tank? Mike, are you having the same thing?

Cool

When my Gauge is almost On "E" the tank apears to only hold 13

gallons or at least that is were the pump stops and if you try and

put in more it will not take it, so yes it is almost like yours

I think everyone's does that at 10-13 gallons. Mine's just a screwy gauge (I think I have a bad sending unit). It'll go all the way to E on fillup (low fuel light comes on). After 10-20 miles of use, the gauge goes up to F and the light goes off. After a while it'll go down to 3 quarters full or half, just differs all the time, and it never shows an in between reading, and then eventually a quarter full, and then by the time I hit about 200 miles (which is about 12 or 13 gallons used on my truck, and I run my RPMs kinda high when I drive, and cruise around 3k RPMs on the freeway) the gauge reads E and the light comes on.

im not sure on gallons i usually put it about 19 to 20 on my 89 bronco II 4x4.
but my father owned a like 91 i think Dodge Ramcharger, it had like a 30 gallon somthing tank on it but everytime we went to put gas in it it only held like 15 or so... Finallly found out that the pump in the tank had come lose and was sitting in there at an angle, so even though there was plenty of gas in tank, fuel pump couldnt suck it up.
just a thought

mines 23.. checked specs in manual.. you either have a 15 or 23. 15 was standard.. most people obviously sprung for the 23. anyway.. now you know.

I'd always figure out my mileage everytime I went to the gas station and I'd get pretty close to puting 21 to 22 gallons in all the time I always got around 350 miles before I'd fill her up.
