<x-charset iso-8859-1>Hello- Yes, all the spec books say 10.6 gallons. But I'm having a problem, and was wondering if it was typical or atypical. By the time I get to a bit over 9.6gal or so, the fuel pump starts cavitating (on flat road... inclined roads are different, and there's a VERY interesting and entertaining story that follows from this if anyone is interested... :-), i.e. the pump gets really loud, and after awhile, you'll start misfiring. Like a stock FI T3, my electric fuel pump is right below the tank. When I was building the car, I did clean out the tank. And, I inspected it. It hasn't been *noticibly* bent up to change the volume, and although it isn't squeaky clean, there isn't anywhere even remotely near 1.0gal worth of rust crud in there. I know that the FI fuel system was designed to purposefully have the intake spout (the one with the "sock" on it) above the bottom of the tank to avoid clogging with crud, but is it really by a whole gallon?
