according to my computer it says short wheel base is 13.7 gal and the long wheel base is 17.2 gal. The long bed fuel tank holds 19.3 gal. Hope this helps.

 

cool thank you

 

I generally filled up in my long bed at around 14.5 gallons... give or take the 17 seems about right.

 

So does tht mean the ex cab is 17?

 

thats the way im taking it. I personally dont know how much the tanks hold, i just looked it up on our alldata thing. Thats what the listed specs are.

 

from dead empty to full, 13 gallons on a standard cab standard bed.

 

Thts what I was thinkin but wasn't sure but now I know
sik thnx guys

 

17 is what I read also. Mine's an 85 longbed and think it was listed in the owners manual. But when my gauge is nearly on E, I've only ever managed 12 or so gallons in it. Been contemplating putting the gas can in back and running it dry to check. Any problems with doing that? It's got a carburetor, not fuel injection.
