1987 Model Specs? July 21, 2007, 12:02:45 PM Does anyone know what the original estimated MPG for an 87 5.0 TB and what is the listed fuel capacity? Fuel tank sending unit is FUBAR!Thanks!:D Quote Selected
1987 Model Specs? Reply #1 – July 21, 2007, 12:34:38 PM Its supposed to be 22 gallons I think, but from empty to full on the gauge, at the pump I usually get in 15-16. They WERE rated at like 18/27 but the new ratings drop them to 16/24mpg. User economy ranges from 14-24 city to 22-30+ highway so there's no sure way of knowing unless you calculate it on your own - odometer reading divided by gallons at pump. Quote Selected

1987 Model Specs? Reply #4 – July 23, 2007, 09:32:25 AM Thanks for the input... I already ran out of gas once. Luckily I got hold of my son and he brought me gas. I have never seen a sending unit do what this one does... appears to work, level decreases but it was showing just under a 1/4 tank when I ran out. I usually dont go below the 1/4 mark but I did that day! BTW 2 gallon gas can is now in the trunk!:D Quote Selected
