Actually, I've heard that the Maxima SiR only took 18.1 gal, because they needed clearance for the 3.5" diameter exhaust. The SiR was amazing, squeezing out 478 hp from a normally aspirated VQ56. This dude probably has a Maxima SiR and didn't even know it.....just pop your hood and if your emissions sticker says VQ56 you've got the SiR

OR....you could spend 20 bucks and take an hour to replace the fuel filter...
