Default Dumb Question

What is the fuel tank capacity in gallons for a 79?

My gas gauge doesn't give an accurate reading, so I use the trip odometer and the mpg to calculate when to fill up with gas.

One of these days I'll get around to fixing it, but for now I'll just keep guessing :lol:

Thanks! :seeya

Thanks! :cheers:

So that means at 10.5mpg, I'm limited to 252 miles. :lol:
