[Healeys] Fuel Tank size

[David Nock BCS]

Are we talking about a new steel or aluminium tank, I have measured a new alloy tank and a original steel tank and they are almost identical in size. 

I have filled up the OE tank with about 14 gals of water. The poured that into the new tank and the capacity of the new tank is actually a little larger.

If you are getting that kind of mileage you are not driving it hard and fast!

always thought it was a 12 US gallon tank. Maybe you have lots of crud in your tank...

I get about 18 MPG and can go over 200 miles between fill ups on long drives

  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???
