After installing a new sender I ran it down to half, filled it up (27 gal) and now Im wondering whats the total it holds. I thought I read 22 gals. I guess not

Don,

I would think that the '86's & '87's are the same. I have not run my MINX down to fumes for a while but the last time I did I believe I put 40 gallons in the tank. Maybe RH out on the left coast will reply.
All good,
Tim.

Don,

I just bought a 1987 Minx and had the same gas tank experience. I was later told by the previous owner that the fuel gauge is not linear. It will show full for a long time then quickly scoot down. At 1/2 on the gauge, you are evidently at 1/3 capacity. It's nice to know I'm not the only one with this issue!
