I believe its 4 gallons, but I could be wrong. Anyone know the correct number for this? Another thing, is the gas tank 17 or 19 gallons?

Tank capacity was discussed here.

Dunno when the light comes on but the tank on an '81 Turbo is 75 litres (~20 U.S. gallons) according to the factory manual (dunno if it's the same in an S?) with a 9 litre reserve (2-and-a-bit U.S. gallons). But I know the light comes on before it hits reserve because just today I had the fuel light come on and when I filled up it took 50 litres on the button. Theoretically, that means there's 34 litres left.

By the way, I did 472 kliks on that tank so my consumption was 9.44 litres per 100km... is it trying to tell me something

If I fill mine up as soon as the light comes on, it always takes 14 US gallons to refill.

In NA it's about 11-12 litres.
