    Well i put 11.894 gallons in my quantum the other day and still had somewhere between 1/8 and 1/4 of a tank left.

    Also if you have a Bently it sould state in there or even the owners manual.

    bimrpwr.... Thanks. My sending unit is missing, therefore I have no idea what amount is left in the tank. Just been adding every couple hundred miles. I need a sending unit. David.

    Thanks. 16 gallons looks to be close to correct , based on the amount I've put in at various times. Still need that sending unit!! Thanks, David.

    Aw614... Thanks. I took a road trip, and averaged 33-34 mpg. I drove about 325 miles before I filled it up. Still don't know the real capacity, so I just carry a gallon of gas in case I should run out. Still need that sending unit!! David.
