Gas Tank
I just bought a 2002 PT Cruiser LE. From empty I got about ll gallons in that tank and drove about 260 till almost empty. Does this sound right? I thought the cruizer has a 15 gallon tank. Anybody have a 2002 PT Cruiser LE and know how big thier tank is. I would look at the manual but don't have it with me. Looked online and it says that it should be a 15 gallon. Any help would be cool.

 Hi welcome to the forum[8D], did you get a owners manual? I have a 2002 LE also yes I'm sure they hold 15 gallons. I've noticed even when I'm on empty I have a few gallons left. When your real low a lite will come on by speedomiter and a bell will ring. Even then youll have a couple of gallons left.

Always over a gallon left in tank, even when needle is on the E stop peg. It's a 15 gallon tank.

A word of caution. As out resident GURU (MX-5) has pointed out in another thread, you should not go below 1/4 tank. This is what was said:
Being that the fuel is the only coolant for the fuel pump in the tank, you would be wise to refill long before the light comes on. A $210 fuel pump and $200 labor for installation is good reason to keep the pump submerged in cooling fuel at all times. I replace a lot of fuel pumps, but none on the customers who keep it above 1/4 at all times. |

Thanks for the info. I wonder why mine filled up at only 11 gallons. I will probably have to bring it in the shop or something. Because I know when i filled it up it only when to 11. Thanks for the info. I filled it up when it was empty and i heard the bells ringing so i know I was on empty. someting is not right. Oh well. I got waranty on it. I'll bring it in the shop. Thanks for the info.
