Fuel Tank question.? - 12/28/2007 6:37:22 PM    cruisin08avenger   Posts: 12 Joined: 12/9/2007 Status: offline Hey Crew, I have a question. It states on my window sticker that my SXT Avenger 2.4 has a 16.9 gallon tank. I just filled my tank and full til it came out of the filler.. whoops lol and it only took 12.6 gallons. Do the Avengers depending on the motor come with different size tanks? I think its weird that my car would loose 4 gallons somewhere. Any thoughts? Thanks Post #: 1

Chances are you had another 4 gallons of gas in the tank and even though the gauge was reading empty it still could have went lower. I had a few cars that would display way below the empty line when it was actually empty. (in reply to cruisin08avenger) Post #: 2

In a way compared to my old Daytona, The gauge doesn't seem to be acurate yet to me until I get to know it. Meaning when it looks pretty low,You may have more than the 1 gallon or whatever left. _____________________________ 2008 Dodge Avenger SE Silver Steel Metallic (in reply to futil) Post #: 3
