Offline | how big is the fuel tank really? Today I put 51 litres in the tank. Outside temp was 18 degrees C, pump calibrated to 15 degrees C, Guage showing just above the empty line. Didn't "top off" the tank, just stopped at the auto shutoff. Am I getting ripped off?, or is the tank actually larger? sad goodbye to 2002 Chili MCS Happy hello to BRG JCW MCSC |

Offline | uua, to add to your distress, I have noticed that another 3-5 liters can be pumped into the tank after the initial auto shutoff! Sometimes I really wonder if the pumps are properly calibrated.  2005 Mercedes Benz C55 AMG  2006 BMW Z4 M-Coupe - Premium Pkg.  2007 Honda Fit - Sports Pkg.  2005 V-Star 1100 Custom  2007 Honda 250 Reflex  |
