What is the size of the tank on a 1990gt. Fuel gauge only works to half and started sputtering on me today. Average around 17 mpg. just wandering how far i can go on a tank of gas. Thanks in advance. Only had about 220 miles on it so was hoping it was running low on gas and not a fuel pump issue.

Check my first post that I couldn't edit from my phone last night, 14.9 is the 4 cylinder capacity.
