How big is a Dodge Neon gas tank?
The Dodge Neon gas tank is about 13.2 gallons (50 liters) on most U.S. models. Exact capacity varies by year and trim, typically ranging from roughly 13.0 to 13.5 gallons.
What affects the tank size?
Fuel-tank capacity can differ based on the Neon generation, regional specifications, and any factory revisions during production. While the core design stayed compact, small variations can occur between MY (model year) ranges and trims.
Fuel tank capacity by generation
Below is a concise breakdown by generation to show typical ranges you might encounter. Note that exact numbers can vary by VIN and market.
- First generation (1995–1999): approximately 13.0–13.2 gallons (49–50 liters)
- Second generation (2000–2005): approximately 13.2–13.5 gallons (50–51 liters)
In short, most Dodge Neon models from these years share a tank around 13 to 13.5 gallons, with the majority converging near 13.2 gallons (about 50 liters).
Practical notes for owners
Estimating driving range and fuel stops
Because capacity is close across model years, your real-world range depends more on engine efficiency, driving habits, and fuel grade. A typical Neon might travel roughly 320–420 miles (515–677 kilometers) on a full tank under mixed driving, but exact range will vary.
How to confirm for a specific vehicle
For a precise figure on a particular Neon, check the owner’s manual or the fuel-tank specification label located in the trunk or near the fuel filler. If in doubt, a dealer or an automotive service manual for the exact year can provide the definitive capacity.
Summary
Across the Dodge Neon lineup, you can expect a fuel tank around 13.2 gallons (about 50 liters), with a narrow range of roughly 13.0 to 13.5 gallons depending on the model year and trim. This translates into a practical driving range governed by fuel economy and driving style, rather than a wide disparity in tank size.
