A liter is only slightly more than a quart i think, so there are roughly 4 liters per gallon. My GMC's book says 22 gallons for the tank, it may vary, so thats about 88 liters. But thats a rough estimate.

About 4 1/2 litres per imperial gallon but I assume he is talking US gallons which are 20% smaller than imperial gallons. ie 5 US quarts in an imperial gallon instead of 4 imperial quarts. So in rough math that should be about 17 imperial gallons and approx 75 litres?
