i have a 410, when putting fuel in i can only fit about £20 in their, is this right? its a standard tank.

also that £20 gets me about 70 miles. all but 5 of it done in rwd. then defo no more than 5 miles up a small green lane in 4wd. the 5 miles is proberly more like a mile max so defo not over 5 in 4wd

I belive standard tanks to be 35L.

Have you dented it badly that could reduce its capacity?

[hucky]

nope it has none that i can see... i think their may be lots of crap in the bottom of it then :( how easy is it to drop the tank?

[Edweird]

£20? That's less than 20 litres. That's not so good. According to the specs it should be a 40 litre tank. That's a lot of shit in the tank.... You sure something's not up?

there's something wrong there! mine fits somewhere between 35/36L and I get over 140miles to a tank with the 1.6!

its defo over fueling. i thought my sender was faulty as its cut out 2 times showing half a tank of fuel, but thats from being full. i will drop it and see what the story is when ive used whats in their lol.

any tips on dropping it from anyone?

thats really not good is it?

say £40 to fill, i would expect at least 200?

I don't know the true figures as I havn't got a fuel gauge so don't go over 140miles without filling her back up again, usually takes around 30litres after that mileage though, also bear in mind i have the drag of two transfer boxes and 33" tyres with 4.11 diffs so it revs pretty high above 50mph and I usually drive at around 60mph on A roads.

I used to get between 25/28mpg with my old 970cc lump and 31" tyres

40 Litres tank capacity.

Something doesnt sound right with yours.
