As Bill said, the tank holds (or used to hold) 21+ gallons. The only modifier
to tank capacity comes from lots of garbage inside, or from the standpipe (on
early tanks with a welded pickup & a banjo bolt) being perforated by rust so
your fuel pump sucks air when the level drops to the rust hole. The only fix
known is to change tanks, or add a second pickup either with a late fuel tank
sender or from a fabricated one running thru the gas station fuel-fill pipe.
Both methods work. Good luck- J Deryke
