The *nominal* tank capacity is 11.9 gallons on the NA 2G with the
bladder. Add in the fuel in the filler neck, and the nebulous "extra"
not counted in the "nominal", and you get nearly 13gal, which
coincidentally is what the non-NA non-bladder 2Gs have as nominal.
The Marathon Men ran the car out of fuel and jacked the left rear up to
REALLY top it up before their run, and got 12.8something into the "tank".
I would never recommend running below 11gal used, given a choice,
though, as it is highly dependent upon how far you filled it the last
time. Though I have put 11.5gal in one of my cars, once. Only put 10.5
in today, which is a bit over my normal 10gal fill.
