Verbatim per the workshop manual for a ?62 BT7:

 

12 Imp., 14.4 U.S. gallons (54.5 litres).

P.S. Starting with a full tank I have run out of gas after only 130 miles. I 
might have had the carbs a bit too rich but I was driving Fast and Furious 
through the Santa Cruz Mountains!

Roger I have the same problem.  They say it was supposed to be over 14 gallons 
or about 54 liters.  I ran mine out of gas.  Put two gallons into.  Should have 
been able to fill it with 12 gallons - distance to the station was less than a 
mile.  I actually put in 8.5 gallons.  I looked through the Moss Cat. and can 
find no specs. on the capacity of the tank. 

So I just have to plan carefully where I am going.  Here in NV you can go long 
distances between stations.

I wonder how many other folks have the same problem???
