For a variety of reasons, it’s a good idea to be aware of how much gas your particular vehicle can hold. You’ll have an idea of what the running fuel costs will look like as well as how far you can drive on a single tank.

There are a number of ways you can determine your fuel capacity, from measuring the gas tank yourself to simply looking at the owner’s manual. To help figure out the size of the gas tank on your 2004 Jeep Liberty,

How big is the gas tank on a 2004 Jeep Liberty?

The 2004 Liberty is a fun, comfortable SUV with all the off-road ruggedness you would expect from the good folks over at Jeep. It’s more suited to dirt roads than the pavement and it can be a bit thirsty at the gas pump, but the Liberty still has oodles of fans that love it and swear by it.

The 2004 model, in particular, has two available engine options, a 2.4-liter four cylinder or a powerful 3.7-liter V6. Regardless of the engine size, though, all 2004 Libertys have a fuel capacity of 19.5 gallons.

How to check your 2004 Jeep Liberty’s gas tank size

If you don’t want to take our word for it or just want to see for yourself, here are a few ways you can measure your own gas tank and figure out your fuel capacity.

Measure the gas tank

To find the gas tank size, find measuring tape and a calculator first, then multiply the length, width, and height of the tank. Next, take your result and divide it by 231, which is the number of cubic inches in a gallon.

Check your owner’s manual

It might not be the most interesting method, but you can always check your owner’s manual to figure out your Liberty’s fuel capacity. Try checking the index for relevant terms, like “gas tank” or “fuel economy.”

Drive till empty, then fill it up

The final method is a bit more fun, but it’s a little dicey at the same time. If you don’t mind the risk, you can drive until the tank is virtually empty, then fill it back up. You won’t get the most exact measurement, and we wouldn’t recommend that you try it out in the desert or anything like that, but this method will give you an idea of how far you can travel on a single tank.

How to save on fuel costs for a 2004 Jeep Liberty

With the V6 engine equipped, the 2004 Liberty has a fuel economy of 17 combined mpg, so we’d say it’s starting to show its age a bit in this category.

That’s not the best fuel efficiency, but there’s still room for improvement. Take a look at these suggestions for saving even more gas and money with your Liberty:

Ensure you maintain the car well. Don’t forget those oil changes! Keeping up with scheduled maintenance will keep your car in good shape and prevent the fuel economy from taking a downward trend.

Drive carefully. Just because sitting at a red light kind of feels like the beginning of a race doesn’t mean you have to treat it like one. Maintaining steady pressure on the gas pedal and avoiding sudden bursts of acceleration will keep fuel consumption on the low end.

Try to avoid engine idling, particularly in cold weather. Despite what you may have heard, idling, in fact, does eat up gas, so take a leisure drive for the first couple of minutes on cold mornings instead of just allowing the car run.

How to optimize your Liberty’s insurance coverage

Having a good idea of your total fuel capacity is a good way to keep yourself out of a jam. Another great way to protect both yourself and your car from unfortunate scenarios is to shop for

This app is great, but the customer service is even better! Not to mention convenient! My husband and I got the lowest rate (much lower than the rates I was finding online through my own searches), quickly, and pretty much all through text message! Thank you so much for a hassle free experience👍
