today i was driving and even though i was on empty the gas light didnt turn on. i went to get gas and it filled to 16 gallons and still didnt stop. isnt that quiet large for a sports car? i remember having a 13 gallon tank in my older car.

what size is the tank?

I just picked up my 07 yesterday and I'm pretty sure the dealer told me its 20 gallons...

 

Tank is 20 gallons. Don't you read the manual and check out the car's specs?
How can you buy a car like a Z and then ask a question like that?

 

Thats like buying a computer and not knowing how much memory you have........but I think the others above are right. It holds 20 Gallons.

 

i didnt know it would be in the manual. but thanks for the info. but why is it full at 16 gallons then?

 

YOU HAD 4 GALLONS LEFT IN THE TANK. Are you old enough to drive?

 

Most gauges wont tell you the tank is empty when you have 0 gallons in your tank. Usually when the gauge reads empty, you've still got a couple of gallons in there. It's to keep idiots from running out of fuel.

 

JUST PAID 50 BUCKS FOR 13 GALLONS..............WTF!!!!!!!

 

time to sell the Z and get a Prius eh? You got to pay to play!

 

A bunch of noobs harasing a newbie. Give the guy a break. Yea he should/could have whipped out the manual. Maybe thats why he will leave this site and go find another Z site for some douche's

I didn't say anything bad, my comment was for cars in general. Sorry if i offended th OP.

 

Fuel tank capacity is stencilled on the side of the tank. Just look under the Z with a flashlight.

 

no offense taken from anyone. i did type up the post very fast and sound newbish. some people on the forums are smart asses, some give good info. thats how forums are so it doesnt bother me.

i actually had a supra turbo and m3 before this so i definitly have my share of knowleadge considering i built the supra myself. i just dont know anything about the z and i just bought it. im hoping to learn from this site.

here it is. just got it last week. 07 sunset orange 6 spd

 

Ive had the Z for a year now and the most I have ever put in is 14.5 gallons to full, and thats when the gauge reads that I have about 10 miles left.

From my understanding its not so that you dont run out of fuel its a design defect in the sending unit placement. Ive never known any vehicle that keeps a 4-5 gallon "resevoir" of spare gas, atleast not a regular vehicle.

 

You are a good sport. Pays to have thick skin. BTW orange is hot!

 

Yea the fuel gague in the Z is way off, whenever i fill I always put about 14-15 gallons in so one day I was like **** it and once it started to blink that there were0 miles till empty I drove another 70 miles city, when i filled up it was still only 18.5 gollaons I put in.

 

Great choice on the '07 Z. It looks like it's got quite a bit of potential. I'm not sure if the gas tank changed, but if I can recall correctly it's 19 gallons.
