Summary

Some users have shared their experiences:
- "I have a 2006 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon. Every time I fill it up, the gas nozzle automatically stops at almost 13. The fuel tank gauge says it full. Online all of the specs from tons of web sites say that it has a 19 gallon tank. I am pretty sure the gas tank is stock. What is going on I have a 13 gallon tank where I think I should have a 19 gallon tank." -- kylekae, Wranglerforum.com
- "I drove 30 miles after my fuel light came on, and I was only able to put 15.3 gallons in on my last fill up." -- MikeMTJ, Wranglerforum.com
- "I can only putabout 13 gallons in mine with the fuel light on, I thought the specs were wrong that I was reading on the net." -- rayman375, Wranglerforum.com
- "They're all inaccurate to a degree. Replacing the gauge won't fix anything, it'll still do the same thing. Mine's exactly like yours. When my light comes on I put in about 15 gallons to fill. All it means to me is I can still drive 40 or 50 miles after the light comes on before it comes to a halt. And actually I think that's the idea with a low fuel warning light anyway, it's supposed to come on in time to still allow you to drive a ways to get to a gas station." -- village idiot, Wranglerforum.com
- "The vent tube in the tank is getting covered up by fuel when you fill it, and that's triggering the pump to stop filling the tank up. My LJ is doing the same thing. There's a pretty good thread here about the "vent tube mod": [url]http://www.wranglerforum.com/f118/1998-tj-gas-tank-mod-15-to-19-a-94857.html[/url]" -- muldrow, Wranglerforum.com

- Nope. And even at that the 15 and 19 gallon tanks were exactly the same, except the filler tube extended into the tank further to limit capacity.
- I have the same problem normal fill my jeep up when it gets to 1/4 of a tank but only takes 13 or 14 gallons even the one time i let the gas light turn on didn't fill up close to 19. Can this be fixed? Really don't care to much but would be nice to have a fully working gas gauge.
- If you need to put 3/4 of a tank in to fill it and can only fit 13 gallons, that's not bad considering the math says you only need 14.25 gallons
- I drove 30 miles after my fuel light came on, and I was only able to put 15.3 gallons in on my last fill up.
- That's really strange. So its a 19 Gallon tank but it has a bad fuel gauge. If I replace the gauge will it fix that problem
- It really depends on the jeep, and the tilt of the road at the station. My 02TJ would kick on the light way before my 06 LJ. My 06 is close, when the light comes on I put in about 16.5 gallons. On my 02 it would only take about 14 when the light came on.
