fuel tank capacity misprint???

Do you ever wonder why Toyota fuel pumps last so long? It's because Denso the builder of their fuel pumps designed them to trigger the fuel light with 3 plus gallons still in the tank. You see, heat kill's fuel pumps and fuel is what cool's the pump. So by having the fuel pump trigger the light with 3 plus gallons still in the tank your pump will not over heat and last longer. It's not a defect, it's designed that way. Your gas gauge is not broken or built wrong. My light comes on and I drive for at least 15-25 miles before I get gas and I put in 14.6 gallon's today. Chevy is about 1.8 gallons left when the light comes on. Mazda is 2.5
