I recently bought an 02 SS Camaro and when i tried to fill up the gas tank it would only let me pump 12 gallons. First time i only let it get little below 1/4 and the second time i waited until the check gauges light came on..In the user manual it says it has a capacity of 16.8 gallons..has anyone had this issue before?

There is still a lot of gas left at 1/4 tank.

You can run it to E and there is still gas in the tank.

It was exactly 12 gallons both times?

Would you happen to know how many gallons would be left ones it hits E?
The second time i ran it all the way to E which cause the check gauges light to come on, and that time the car was full with only 12 gallons.. i didn’t want to try to add more because I’ve heard that over filling them is bad. Thanks for replying

Did you use the same pump/same gas station for both fill-ups?

There should be some difference in the amount of fuel that the tank will take at 1/4 vs. at E. At 1/4 tank, somewhere around 12 gallons sounds about right. At E, it should be more like ~14 gallons or so. But it also depends on how long the tank had been at either reading (perhaps when it was at 1/4, it had been there for a while and was just about ready to drop further, and perhaps when it got to E you happened to fill it up right away?)

I'm not sure this is anything to worry about though.

I remember the 1 time I let my check gauges light come on the car took about 14.28 gallons

When my car is a little above E, it has ~3 gallons left. But I rarely let it get that low anyway.

So today I let the car ride on E a little before I pumped gas, this time I got 14 gallons in I guess I was just worrying too much thanks all you guys for your help.

Sounds about right...
