I think it's around 65 litres

You will find it easier to work out by filling it at the pumps, running it for a while on the same tank then refilling it to the same level.

To gauge it better fill from the same pump too, although there is no substitute for keeping a tally over a period of time/distance

Don't forget there will still be at least 5 litres in the tank when the low fuel light comes on.

What is one of those then???? I've never seen mine as I always refill to the brim each time I get down to between ¼ - ½ (generally refill @ the ½ tank mark).

Thanks Bob that is good to know…..

The Surf is running great and has proven to be very reliable. I intend to keep this for a good few years yet (even if I end up buying a city run-a-round as a second car) as it is great for lugging all my rifles and shooting gear to the range.

I always like to have penalty of fuel as there is nothing worse than driving on just petrol fumes, especially this time of year when the Surf is the only way I can get to work on Christmas day and Boxing day…….

Anyhow, I’ve finished work now so I’m going to town to see if I can bag anything in the sales…
