Generally around 3-4 gallons. Not scientific fact but if I fill when the light comes on, I can get 21-22 gallons in.

Cool

I usually fill when I get to 1/3 of a tank left, but on a road trip last week I ran it down to putting in 22.5 gallons. The light had not yet come on, and SCrews are supposed to be a 24.5 gallon tank...so I was a little concerned. However, I generally do not rely on the idiot lights to tell me anything-that's one of the reasons I like my truck, the full set of guages. Now if I could find a decent way to mount a tranny temp guage for when I tow...

Apparently depends on the truck. I have had my low fuel light come on, run another 25 miles, and gotten 25.6 gallons in it - kind of a lot for a vehicle with a 25-gallon tank.

Bottom line is, you have to find out about your individual truck, as they vary.
