Is it the same on all trucks? I've heard the front is 18 and the back is 19.2 . But 19.5 in front would make sense since I can put 17 gallons in when i still have a 1/4 tank left. I've got a single cab 4x4 and I always got more miles from the back tank. Used to get 350 miles on the bank tank, no I cant get 200. Cant find a leak tho so I just quit using it.

We all have 18.2 gallon rear tanks but the cab/bed configuration determines the size of the front tank.
My reg cab 4x4 holds 22 in the front but a reg cab 2wd has a 19 gallon front tank.
The crewcab and supercabs with a long bed have a 19 gallon front tank and with a shortbed they have 16.5 gallon tanks.

You got to remember when they say it is a 19 gal tank it will not hold 19 gals of fuel? It has to leave room in the tank for the fuel to vaporize during hot weather. So a 17 gal tank will only hold around 15.5, maybe 16 gals the rest of the tank volumn is reserved for fumes.

The biggest reason you guys aren't getting as much fuel in the tank is due to the fuel gauges being very generous on the bottom end. I don't recommend this but run the tank down till the truck starts to run out of fuel. You will be surprised how far past E the needle will go. Then fill it up. I adjusted the needle on my gauge and did the Filler neck mod. I run each down to E then fill up and I put 36 gallons in at each fill.
