fuel tank capacity GMC SIERRA 1500 2009 Owners Manual

Here are some situations owners can experience with
the fuel gage. None of these indicate a problem with the
fuel gage.
At the gas station, the fuel pump shuts off before
the gage reads full.
It takes a little more or less fuel to ll up than the
fuel 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 fuel tank’s
capacity to ll it.
The gage goes back to empty when the ignition is
turned off.
For a diesel engine, see “Fuel Gage” in the Diesel
Engine Supplement.
Low Fuel Warning Light
This light, under the fuel
gage, comes on briey
while the engine is being
started.
This light and a chime comes on when the fuel tank is low
on fuel. The Driver Information Center also displays a
“FUEL LEVEL LOW” message. SeeDIC Warnings and
Messages on page 3-66for more information. When fuel
is added this light and message should go off. If it does
not, have the vehicle serviced by your dealer/retailer.
