84 Camry Fuel Tank Capacity

Simple test. Run it until it is actually empty (the engine stops), then see how much it takes to fill it up. Hint: carry a spare gallon or two of fuel in the trunk, as you will probably not be next to gas pump when the engine quits.

But yes, on every car I have ever owned, once the gauge is on "E" (empty) there is a reserve of some amount in the tank. Otherwise, a lot of people would be stranded out of gas.

I have a bunch of old Toyotas. What happens is, the guage develops a 'dead' spot, where it either doesn't move at all for a while, or it drops all of a sudden and you have half of what you had before.

Most Toyota tanks are 13.7 gallons with w .3 gallon reserve.

many cars use an in-tank fuel pump; in some cars (eg Saturns, at least the older ones), this pump can be damaged by running them dry. I don't know if older Camrys are this type. It would be a good idea to carefully track the number of miles on each tank using your trip odometer, but I would not deliberately run it dry, just in case. (For what its worth, I have pumped up to 15.2 gallons into my 1992 Camry but I don't know how close that is to running dry- probably very)
