The answer is: it depends.
If it is hot, the tank will hold more.
In my own experience, it will hold about 17 gallons, maybe as much as 17.5. I typically fill after the warning goes off, and it will take better than 15 gallons when I do so.
I also ran the tank dry to see what my reservoir really was. It went 124.1 miles after the alarm. That works out to about 2.4-2.5 gallons.
So I'd figure about 17 gallons.
Your results may vary due to manufacturing tolerances, temperature when you fill, angle of car, yada, yada, yada...
