Once it gets around 1/4 tank, it may plummet like there's a hole in the tank. Scared the $#@% out of me the first time, as I was on the toll road with the roadsides torn up for construction. That last 3-4 gallons will go to 0 in 20-30 miles. Stop the car, and maybe when you restart it will reset, maybe not. It's not just the SID, the fuel gauge follows.
Since it was still under warranty, I took to the dealer, and he claims they replaced the sending unit AND the fuel pump (I guess they're an unit).
Didn't help.
I put over 100k miles on my '02 (and other 9-5's), the rest were GREAT. Something wrong with the some of newer ones, as I don't remember seeing this posted on the earlier 9-5's. I guess we're both just lucky.
My problem is only the first part of your question, I have no reason to believe that the tank isn't the same capacity as earlier years.
