Electman,

I am trying to find out if there is a specific law pertaining to the "big 3" automotive manufacturers as to requirement of gasoline tank capacity accuracy?

I had read an article years ago that it stated a automotive gas tank takes a certain amount to be filled that wasn't. As stated in article; completely dry up to and including the neck of the tank. If not required, how is a person to know if he or she is receiving what is paid for - "gas"?

I think there is a requirement but I am not 100% sure.

Could you please help?

Sincerely,

David Lourana
