fuel tank capacity

![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hi,
I went for a cruise yesterday and decided to return home rather than continue into town for fuel. Normally I fill up @ 1/4 tank but yesterday was different.
The yellow fuel light was on, pulled into the station this morning and put in more gasoline than I thought the tank's capacity was.
First thought, incorrect metering at the sattion but then...I figured I should ask those that know.
My filler clicked off at 16.389 gallons (us).
What say the brain trust? Was I on fumes and the tank holds this much or other?
thank you for your time

Tank capacity is ~19.9 US gallons, ~75 litres or ~16.5 imperial gallons.

You had plenty left.
The trip computer has a RANGE display function which calculates how many more miles you can travel on the remaining fuel. I rarely run a tank below half but discovered it's possible to go at least 7 miles more when RANGE reads zero after desperately searching for an open petrol station on a Winter's night in Yorkshire.![EEK!](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/eek.gif)
