99 xlt ohv
I put a 2" body lift on and immediately ran it for gas on my test drive. Its a 99 ohv and somehow i put in just over 20 gal. I've never put in that much before. It freaked me out and i actually climbed under the truck at the gas station to see if it was pouring out somewhere. Has anyone else noticed this?

maybe the fill spout was just pushed down in the tank too far , and with the lift you pulled it up some, , that tanks do hold 20 gallons..
 






I've gotten barely over 19 in there and thought i was on fumes. When over 20 went in i must have looked like a real jackass franticly climbing under the car hoping the the fill neck didnt pop off. Thanks. I probably should have just looked up the capacity in my manual.
 






reminds me of one station up north that somehow put 22 gallons in my 21 gallon tank... I reported them
 






yeah, total capacity to right to the top full should be 21 gallons total,
