67L unless you spec'd the 90L option (available only with LHD)

In my 3.8 the light comes on with about 15 to bone dry.

i 'll have dealer recalibrate
when ligth comes on, i can at 12.5gal at most, and yes i have tried to invert the pump handle, if not, then only 11.5 gal

i think the reserve when light comes on is approx 3 gal
3+12.5 = 15.5. it appears that my calibration is just a tad off

and 17 gal is too small!
i can't get more than 200 miles ;-(

^ my seem a little different.
gauge shows enpty
light comes on
put gas in, including inverting the pump
the gas pump will stop around 12.x gallons and fuel will come back out of filler neck if i keep pumping
at this point the gauge will read FULL


so:
when light ocmes on i shoud have about 3 gal reserve
i can only pump in 12, so that means there "should be" 15 gallon in the tank now.
but the tank is 17.7gal?!?!


yes pissedpuppy , i bought a CGT
