The fuel tank is under the splashwell
and under the floorboards. It is an "L" shape with the part you see under the splashwell forming one part and a lower part that goes forward under the floorboard. There was a picture of one in one of the threads here but I can't seem to locate it.
As for fuel guages...they're very unreliable. Mine usually shows full only when I fill it completely full. After that, it shows about 1/2 most of the time. When it shows 1/4, I head for the gas station.
Keep in mind what you are looking at is the top 1/2 of your fuel tank. If it's 1/2 full, then you have 3/4 of a tank left.
I hope this helps.
