24 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the 2 gallons of gas increased the fill ratio from 1/6 to 1/4, we can find how much of the tank the 2 gallons filled by solving the equation 1/4 - 1/6 = 1/12. This means that each gallon of gas is 1/24th of the tank.

Thus, the tank has a fuel capacity of 24 gallons.
