Default 77 gas tank capacity

How big should my tank be?
Yestarday my car stoped and carb bowls were empty(fuel gauge was showing half empty!!).
I filled tank and only ca 7 gallons (26 liters) and the tank was full!!
How to understand what is happening with my tank? This is already 2-nd time when I noticed that too little amount of gas fulfill the tank from empty.
