I believe the gas tank is 18 gallon, but not 100% sure on that.
The engine is 3.8 liters or 231 cubic inches

Its closer to 18.5 gallons.

And to be precise, 3800 is a reference to the engine's displacement in cubic centimeters, but in reality, I believe the L36 is actually 3791cc. Don't remember where I read that, but that number is stuck in my head as correct information. Not that 9cc is really that big of a discrepancy.
