fuel tank capacity FORD POSTAL EXPLORER 2001 2.G Owners Manual

Fuel gauge
Displays approximately how much
fuel is in the fuel tank (when the
key is in the ON position). The fuel
gauge may vary slightly when the
vehicle is in motion or after
refueling. The ignition should be in
the OFF position while the vehicle is
being refueled. When the gauge first indicates empty, there is a small
amount of reserve fuel in the tank. When refueling the vehicle from an
empty indication, the amount of fuel that can be added will be less than
the advertised capacity due to the reserve fuel.
