Default Gas tank size?

How many gallons of gas does an '89 gas tank hold? I have a coupe if there is a difference.

Used to be the same (16-1/2) here in Canada. Then we switched
to SI and now the cars hold just under 76 litres.

Here are the specs on the '89 over at Corvette Action Centre

Didn't they switch to 18 or something with the LT1? Or is that the LS1?

cuisinartvette,

Don't feel bad, I have 4 gal left after the two reserve lines disappear in mine.

Oh yes 84-96 gas tank are 20.0 gallons. Please don't start the imperial gallon discussion again.
