Default KODIAK C5500 FUEL CAPACITY

Can you guys tell me how much fuel your Endura will take. Gulf stream says 80gal. so does GM build sheet. BUT my 06 with an 8.1 will only take 65 gal. Also mpg and average range on a full tank would be helpfull. THANKS in advance

Default Gas Capacity

I believe our 04 Endura - 8.1 DOES in fact hold 80 Gal of Gasoline. I put almost 75 in it once - fortuately I was close to fuel at all times. I usually don't put in more than 50 at a stop. We drove from Phoenix to Jackson, MS, to Mobile, AL, and home - got about 7.7 MPG. This was towing our 2001 Nissan Frontier.

Overhead in the driver's seat there should be a sticker with the build codes of installed equipment when it left GM. Here are the fuel tank codes --
N23 - 40 Gallons
NG6 - 40 Gallons
NH4 - 40 Gallons
NH5 - 60 Gallons
NJ9 - 80 Gallons
NN4 - 60 Gallons

Or you can crawl under there and read it off the side of the tank.

My 2006 Ultra C5500 has an 80-gallon tank, but you have to be very patient to get 80 gallons into it. First fuel cutoff is about 60 gallons, then you can trickle in another 20 gallons. I think the tank vent system is poor.

Also, the fuel gage is not very accurate on mine. If I have a full tank, the fuel gage will not drop off the full position until I've driven 150 miles or more -- at least 20 gallons down.

I get about 7.5 mpg at 65 mph in flat country. Towing a 2002 Honda Civic, I get about 6.5 to 7.0 mpg. I can figure on driving 400 miles or so on a (really full) tank with about 20 gallons to spare.
