'56 fuel tank size?

Does anyone know how much the stock fuel tank has capactiy for ? I have the original one behind the seat. I don't quite trust my fuel gauge yet, however when i go to fill up, I'm only putting in about 35 liters (8-9 gallons). How big is that tank supposed to be? Seems to be like it's about 20 gallons..
