I go crazy everytime I have to open the hood on my 98 Chevy Astro. The guys just say "oh it's a Chevy" and they bang the hood. I have found that if I stick a butter knife unde the hood I can open it. What a pain!
The speedometer and odometer in a 1990 Chevy Astro Van may not work due to a malfunctioning vehicle speed sensor (VSS), which sends speed data to the dashboard. Additionally, issues such as a broken speedometer cable, faulty instrument cluster, or electrical problems can also cause these gauges to fail. Inspecting these components can help diagnose and resolve the issue.
According to the HAYNES REPAIR MANUAL the 1990 Astro Van has a 17 gallon tank.

From the 1985-1990 model year the 2.5 liter Iron Duke 4 Cylinder was used in the Astro as the base model. These were the same engines used from 1985-1993 in the Chevy S10.
