Post '83 944 owners ONLY, all others IGNORE!!!!!!!!!!

Hello my friends.

I'm just wondering about the gas tank capacity. I've read that it is supposed to be like 17 gallons. But I've never put more than 13+ in mine. In the past 3 years. And some of those times I've been driving with the fuel light on for a while.

So, what is the maximum you have put in?

If you don't have an '83 you BETTER not be in here, and if I catch you in here...

You are probably right, Porsche put a smaller tank in my to pull a mean joke on me. They knew I would ask about it, even if it were three years after I owned the car.

I've usually only been able to do about 13. Eve when the fuel light is on, and the gauge reads empty.
Maybe 13.5 max.
