<div>My car has a standard metal tank but like some of the replies can only get
49 litres (= 13 US gals into it) measured at a gas pump. Well I thought that it
was standard.</div>
<div>Maybe pumps are not correctly calibrated and getting free gas ... ha

<div>Suspect that is an original manufacturing quality issue and that many
people could have this issue (smaller tanks) with their cars but not realize it
as they rarely run out or drain their tanks and simply “fill up” </div>

<p class="MsoNormal">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. <u></u><u></u></p></div>
<p class="MsoNormal">So I just have to plan carefully where I am going.
Here in NV you can go long distances between stations.<u></u><u></u></p></div>
