I bought a leftover 2016 1500 Crewcab Outsdoorsman in early 2017. The build sheet says 32 gal tank but I do not think it has the correct tank in it. When it gets to 1/2 way and I fill it takes 12-13 gals not 16 gals it should and the range seems low, And when it gets low it only takes about 20 gals.

How do I verify which tank is in there?? is a visible part ##

I paid for a 32 gal tank it should have a 32 gal tank

Thanks JS in Bama

If I recall correctly, the Rams have 8% tank capacity left when it says Empty or when it says 0 miles left to empty. If you put in about 12-13 gallons when the gauge reads 1/2 and then add in the additional 2.5 gallons that FCA hid from you, it's about right for a 32 gallon tank.
Or get a 5 gallon can and put in your bed, drive until it runs out, use your 5 gallon can, and go fill up. You will have a definite answer.

I slid under the truck and found this number 22191N which goes not correspond to a Mopar # for the 32 gal tank

I did not see any numbers indicating capacity

looks like a pretty big tank

It has been posted that the 32 gallon tank has the same calibration as the 25 gallon tank. Iirc, ramcares says FCA is working on a fix.
