ive put 18.89 gallons in mine before drove almost 350 miles.

my friend has a 04 level2, he put just over 20 gallons in once. needless to say he prolly barly made it to the pump.

it all depends on the pump you go to also. sometimes they turn off early.

 

is there any number or code i can check to see what my truck came with or just run it till empty and see how much it will take

 

i wouldnt run it till its empty, thats not good to do.

the manual tells you what size you have.

and super cabs are always 19.5 gallons. that is the biggest

 

owners manual......but like a code on the truck to check online..um..maybe something inside the door..

 

OBDII requires full range misfire detection. Ford wants to be sure that most drivers never run out of gas which could possibly set a misfire code. When that happens, Ford pays for totally unnecessary warranty work.

Remember also that new Rangers come with 3/36000 Roadside Assistance which includes help if you run out of gas.

IMO, those are the 2 reasons why you get the low fuel warning and empty gauge reading so early - roughly 3.5 gallons before empty on a nominal 19.5 gallon tank.

 

man i thought i only had a 18 or so....when im on E, i can only put almost 17gallons in, i iddnt know it was 19.5 that makes me MPG go further down :-x

LOL yea a little thing called a Vin # might pull up only EVERYTHING you might need to know lol. As long as it's stock and hasn't been changed from factory parts it will tell you the specifications of the vehicle. But I will say I heard there's more spots than just inside the door that it may be. I haven't ever looked into it bc ive never had to find it anywhere else so it could be false, I have no idea.
