Hi TheRadioFlyer -

The C5 has two fuel tanks with a capacity of ~9 gallons each.

Accordint to the Corvette Blackbook........
'97-'99 19.1g
'00-'02 18.5g
'03-'04 18.0g


However the corvetteactioncenter says 18.5 for '03-04 which I tend to think is right???

Where did you get that info. from? I just went back to www.corvetteactioncenter.com and what I posted was correct except the '04 has a 18 gallon tank.

I think the site is correct, not too sure why the Blackbook says otherwise

I wonder. Usually both are fairly accurate and don't conflict.

Only thing I can think of is the C6's have an 18.0g. tank. Chevy also changed the fuel system in mid '03 to what would eventually be on the C6, no idea if the tank or capicity is the same or has anything to do with it. Interesting though(kinda).........thats all I got!
