The one that I used to have was a 1996 version and I think the fuel tank held 20 gallons but I can't remember for sure.

If you are referring to the CR fuel tank, they used one from a chevy (don't remember which model) but it held about 18.5 gallons.

Pretty sure the originals came with a late 60's Camaro tank with the original inlet sealed over and a new one welded in. 18 gal.....probably.

231 cu in = 1gal.

All,
I have a CR1 originally from 1990.. The Fuel tank is a custom steel tank that was built for the kit in Dakota originally. it is not a OEM tank from another production vehicle.

I don't know the exact capacity but I would say somewhere around 15 to 18 gallons
