Ordered a shop manual, etc. I haven't been able to find the gas tank capacity for the truck. Even a 45 minute internet search has yielded nothing. Where do I find this out?

I also notice a few stations seem to think I can squeeze 20 gallons into it ! . _surely_ the gas pump , being a computer marvel is always 100 % accurate , right ? .
