OK I'm just curious and this might be dumb but exactly how big is the gas tank in a 1997 dodge ram 1500?

 

Not sure about your year but my 01 has a 26 gallon tank.

 

OK because I was thinking that it was around 30.

 

There were 2 size options, a 26 gallon tank or a 35 gallon tank

 

My 98 has a 26 gallon tank, also.

 

Short bed you got a 26, long bed you got the bigger one 30 or 35 gallon.

 

Ok I filled my truck up with gas. Which made my wallet lighter but I was down to a quarter of a tank. So to fill it up I put in 17 gallons so if I did the math my gauge is off just a little and it would be around 26. So did Dodge ever make an auxiliary tank for the second gen truck. Just because I know that all the other trucks that year had them on there.

 

Mine is a long bed.

 

Sorry, let me rephrase, long bed had the option for the big one. AFAIK they did not make dual tank 1500 trucks.

 

Ok I wasn't sure because on Kelly Blue Book I was curious on how much my truck was worth so were you input the options your truck has it has a category dual fuel tanks. No joke just check it out.
