Default Gas Tank Size 93 Dakota V8

When my truck is about empty or at least looks like it is, it fills up full with 18 gallons of gas. I think i remember somebody saying it was either a 20 or 21 gallon tank, is this an optional gas tank size, whats the standard v8 ext cab size?

Its a 22 gallon tank. My gas light typically comes on with around 18 gallons to full. I think one time I put over 21 gallons it.

22 gallons unless it ordered with an 18 gallon. I think that was the size.

No, the standard was a 15 gallon tank, the optional was a 22 gallon tank.

But... I don't know of any v8s that came with the 15 gallon tank. I think that was for the 4 and maybe some of the low optioned 6 cylinders if not specified otherwise.

When I requested my build sheet from Chrysler the entry they gave me was:

NFBP - 22 Gallon Fuel Tank

I have the 318 as well.

Anybody can do the same. Just email customerassist@daimlerchrysler.com with you VIN and request your build sheet.
