Ythomit Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I have a 1993 import TT Auto. I also have a manual. The manual says that the fuel tank capacity is 80 litres. The most petrol I've ever been able to get into it is 61 litres (with the low fuel warning light on) My question(s)... Is the manual wrong or the fuel guage ? ...or is a JP litre 2/3 of an EU litre ?

SteveC Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 UK models have a larger fuel tank (80 litres) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 JDM has 70 litre tank, UK has 80 litre. You likely have a UK manual. Check for a section on waxing the dildos to be sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 You can't accurately gauge a tank's capacity by how much it takes to fill up. 2 things would need to be true for you to do this: 1) the fuel line pick-up in the tank would need to suck fuel from the very bottom of the tank. My guess is that it doesn't do this, because it would end up sucking up heavy impurities. and 2) the car would need to be at the point of cutting out due to lack of fuel, at the moment you pull up at the petrol pump.

Ythomit Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 Many thanks all. Seems like I'd better get the right manual then. Any recommendations ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 If it costs you around £85 a fill up you probably have a UK spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 If it costs around £90, you've put diesel in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
