fuel tank capacity CHEVROLET CAVALIER 2000 3.G Owners Manual

2-77 Fuel Gage
United States Canada
Your fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you
have left. When the indicator nears empty, the
CHECK GAGES light will come on. You still have
about 1.5 gallons (5.7 L) of fuel left, but you should
get more soon. See ªCheck Gages Lightº earlier in
this section for more information.Here are four things that some owners ask about.
None of these show a problem with your fuel gage:

At the service station, the gas pump shuts off
before the gage reads full.

It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up that the
gage indicated. For example, the gage may have
indicated the tank was half full, but it actually took
a little more or less than half the tank's capacity to
fill the tank.

The gage moves a little when you turn a corner
or speed up.

The gage doesn't go back to empty when you
turn off the ignition.

Specificationsº in the Index.
