How empty have you gone without running out?
Just wondering...I knew I was low when I filled it up last night...but I put 21.062 gallons into the 21 gallon in-the-cab tank!

I wanted to re-center the needle and purposely ran out of gas so I knew exactly bone dry was.

21.75 gallons in the GMC one day...
Funny thing, the owners manual says it holds about 20 gallons. |

I don't run out of gas. I did once on an empty stretch of road between Moses Lake and Spokane, WA (empty, flat, and in the middle of nowhere). I might as well have been on the damn moon.
Never again...

When my gauge reads empty, I can put in around 18 gallons. So I'm guessing I should be able to run it well below empty.

When I get close to 600 miles I start looking for a gas station. Installed a 1993 suburban tank in my 71 that hold 42 gals. I haven't run out since.
