The spec book for my Jeep gives the fuel tank capacity as 22.5 gallons. I have filled up about 4 times since I got it and have yet put that much into it.
This last time, I intentionally drove it within 10 miles of empty (based on the last report from the dashboard at 30 miles left) - so maybe 1/2 gallon left.
The needle was slightly below the Empty line, and I still only added 19.74 gallons; accounting for the 1/2 gallon left, that is only about 20.25 gallons total.
Is there a 2+ gallon cushion built into the fuel system, or are my gauge and computer just that much off? How many gallons can you put in from empty?
In my previous non-Jeep vehicle, I could pump in the capacity limit and sometimes just a little more!
I guess I can carry a gas can and just drive it until I run completely out!
Thanks!!
