reg cabs have a 16gal tank i belive and extended cabs have a 19.5gal tank

levelIIrdneck May 18, 2007 08:02 PM

as far as i know they all have 16.5 gallon tanks... b/c both my level 2 and my 93 splash regular cab have them and the same with my g/f's edge and my best friends edge

bwester04 May 18, 2007 08:05 PM

19.5 gallons for sure on 01+ ext cabs.. check your owners manual

in addition: reg cab long beds get the 19.5gal as well
but reg cab short beds are 16.5

levelIIrdneck May 18, 2007 08:11 PM

i ain't never put more than pushing seventeen in my level 2... and i have pushed the check gauge light but who knows you could be right... i'll just have to find a manuel cause mine didn't have one when i bought it

bwester04 May 18, 2007 08:14 PM

yeah you can go for quite a while on the gas light, I did it numerous times in my 2000 lol But stocker gas gauges arent all that accurate down south of 1/2 tank anyways

Silver May 18, 2007 08:17 PM

19.5 for ext,long beds and 16.5 for reg cabs
2001 and up

of course our idiot light goes off well before that time
when mine does i got 4 more gallons before im empty

I think all the extended cabs form the start have had the 19.5 gallon tank.

jtslmn720 May 18, 2007 09:58 PM

rngprerunner May 19, 2007 12:31 AM

yeah, the light comes on when you have 2-3 gal left.
its basically a warning light to tell you its getting low, :dunce:

i have an 02 exted cab, and i have the 16 gallon. Yes, i am possitive i don't have the 19.5. After the last time this question came up, i ran my tank 30 miles on the check fuel light. Went to fill up and could only fint 15.6 gallons before it started to overflow. So i would say MOST ext. cabs have the 19.5 but i guess the factory only had the 16 gallons the day my truck was made.

IM guaranteeing you have a 19.5 tank take a picture of your tank..

I swear my SuperCab Edge has a 16 gallon tank. I've never been able to get more than 16 gallons in it at a time. This is when I remove it and find out it's been hauling coke, haha.

Indeed!

But seriously, does anyone with an 02 Edge extended cab have a 16 gallon tank?

bwester04 May 19, 2007 01:47 PM

you know it kinda wouldnt surprise me if ford did that to a few supercabs, they tend to be inconsistant.. who knows

I'd prefer a 20 gallon tank, but at least the 16 is cheaper to fill ;)
