For the Warrior II at tabs I believe it is 17 US gallons or 64.3 litres per tank.

It has been quite a while since I flew one of these, but the total useable fuel for a PA28-161 is 48 US gallons, so if you're at that tabs that should work out to 24 gallons (as I recall; Phoenix09 says otherwise, and may well be correct). An inch below, I don't know, maybe figure on 18 gallons?
Best to check the actual aircraft POH, just to be sure. ;)

Phoenix 09's figures are correct (PA28-161 POH, section 7).
Another classic case of RTFM!
"Read the FLIGHT (!) Manual"...
I dont have it here so I am certainly not going to say what I "think" or "believe" it is, or what it "should work out to be".
