Gas Tank Size


Recommended Posts

Search wasn't working so I have to ask.  What is the fuel capacity of the hybrid tank for my 2013?  I was on empty and the readout said I had about 40 miles til empty.  Well, I filled it up and it would only take 10.6 gals.  There can't be a 3 gallon reserve tank.  Or is there?

Capacity is 13.5 gallons.  This is not an uncommon issue with this MY Hybrid.  See this discussion on the FFH Forum. 

There were issue on 2013 Fusions/MKZs with inability to fill the tank but it didn't involve the Hybrid.  Ford replaced the tanks.

 

I guess it's official. Just don't do what I did.  I miscalculated big time.  Filled up on Sunday with 10.5 gals.  Put on about 100 miles before leaving on a long trip.  Get from upstate NY to Alexandria Va.  For the last 50+ miles my light is on saying I need gas.  Ok, I have plenty.  Then it dawned on my that I put miles on after my fill up so I must be running of fumes.  Then the red part of the gas gauge lights up (way below the E on the gauge) and it is showing less than empty on the gauge.  A thin line of red showed up when I was going downhill.  Need gas ASAP.  Pulled in to the station.  Filled it up.  Guess what?  It really is a 13.5 gal tank.
