i just got a scangage for the truck and i have to tell the gauge what size fuel tank i have to get an accurate reading.ive searched on some sites and came up with 2 chioces.iether 26 gallons or 34 gallons.and some sites said 132 liters which is 29 gallons.imperial.im confused. its a 2001 qcab shortbox 4x4.thanx

 

34 gallons.

No idea what that equates to in those wacky Canadian measurements

As phox said 34 u.s. gallons. But up here in the crazy cold north its 129 litres or28.4 imp. gallons. Got the specs. from my 2001 book. P.S. The book just says u.s. and metric not the crazy Canadian measurement. Just kidding !!
Hope this helps..

 

Hey Now, no need to make fun

 

Random Fact...an Imperial Gallon is based on 4 imperial pints which are 20oz. each. A US Gallon is based on 4 pints which are 16oz. each. So a US gallon is roughly .833 of an imperial gallon ( I think).

So a tank in canada which registers 28 or 29 gallons Imperial would be a 34-35 gallon tank in US Gallons.

Hope I did not add to the confusion...

 

Our 02 tank is 35 US gallons. Or 132 liters

 

My 98.5 Reg cab has a 35 gal tank.

 

Dually's and longbeds got the 36 gallon tank. (I think?)

Shortbeds got the 34.

Gassers got that really tiny one.

Phox,
Just looked at the build sheet on the 02 LB dulley. Has NFCS 35 gallon Polyethylene fuel tank.

 

Short box is 129L, long box is 132L. I have no idea how many gallons that is.

 

So THAT'S how we get ripped off for buying pints of beer down here!! I always wondered why a "pint isn't a pint" unless purchased in an authentic Imperial based pub!! I guess I will have to look for places that sell the 20 oz. pints instead
