2015 GL350 Fuel Tank Capacity?

Does anyone know what the fuel tank capacity on the 2015 GL350 BlueTEC is?

Looking online the only thing I am seeing is 26.4 gallons...but since I just put 28.15 gallons of fuel into mine I know that can't be right. I was very close to empty....the range indicator stopped indicating a fuel range at about 25 miles and was just showing the refuel warning indicator (a light showing a red fuel pump connected to the SUV)...so 28 gallons must be close to full capacity...but I am wondering what the actual tank size is.

thanks

It will say in your owner's manual near the back.

Interesting...thanks for pointing this out. I looked in the 2015 GL owner's manual (it appears to be common for both diesel and gas versions) and it says that the fuel tank total capacity is 26.4 gallons (100 liters)...so why does my gas station receipt say that I put in 28.15 gallons?

You'll get some in the filler tube, but not that much.

Interesting, maybe you have an extra capacity option.
