I have an 1996 Ford F-150 Pickup, and the gas gauge has been going down faster than normal. Sometimes, when I'm stopped at a light then start going again, I can visually watch the gas gauge go down about 1/4 tank or so.... Then once I start going, it slowly goes back up to where it was... Don't know what that's all about.

Sooo.. My questions:

1. What size is each of my gas tanks?
2. What would be causing this problem?

here's a link to my vehicle VIN specs: http://www.decodethis.com/VIN-Decode...EF15N3TLB10364

That's it for now... Thanks!

I know that link I provided gives a tank size of 37.20 gal, but I have no idea what that is measuring, since I have two tanks.

That would be both tanks, for a longbed.

Odd question for the interior section.

The gas is probably just sloshing around and moving the float. Nothing's wrong.

cwild1

ok, so would each tank be the same size?

~18.6gal each?

I think the front is 18 and the rear is 19, but I'm not sure.

They're both close. I think the front is 18 and the rear is 19 but I'm not sure. I'd have to get the manual.

I don't understand... When I went to the gas station yesterday, it was just about on E. But I only put a little over 10 or 11 gallons in before it stopped filling, and the needle was back up top. Could it be that off? (8 gallons off)?

Yea. You're lucky it works at all.
