From dead empty you should be able to put 55-60l in it.
From memory the VK had a 55L tank standard, I regularly fill 55-53L in my VK .

I have a VK berlina, standard fuel tank, ~60 litres i think. How much petrol should i actually be able to put in it? I fill it whenever the needle is on red and i almost always manage to put 40litres in.

VB-VL had 65 litre tanks standard. Some HDT built VC-VL got either an 80litre or 90 litre tanks.

whitch will trap air
Research has shown that men usually sleep on the right side of the bed.
Even in our sleep we happen to be right.

Yeah Scott, that's what I thought after looking at a heap of Web sites stating they all have 63 litre tanks from VB. No doubt you could probably max it out 2-3 litres thoughOriginally Posted by vkberlina

I had the exact same problem with my Berlina VK. Was told it could be like the lil float or measuring device in the fuel tank...most likely bent or broken or something like that. But that trapped air theory is also likely. My bet is that if you actually just drove till you ran out of fuel, your gauge would be right...I just don't think its the gauge for some reason.
Crossed over to the dark side...
Why would trapped air make a difference?
if you can't get the air outOriginally Posted by unregistered
you can't get the fuel in
