VL fuel tank capacity

[Pistol]

just wondering how many litres a standard VL tank will take to fill, had a look around the site but cant see it anywhere, maybe im blind... just wanted to know so i can observe how much tanks of gas are costing with the skyrocketing prices and all- cheers

63 lts they hold..

[CALAIS 6]

lol now im worried mine only holds 52 litres

[VLACS]

yeh i thought mine was only about 50 litres

[Bax]

It's be 63.. Unless you want to drain your tank completely you'll never be able to put 63 in.

[VLACS]

on the fuel guage, is empty as far back as it goes (ie where it sits when the cars off) or is it right on the line.

[80shovelead]

empty is right on the line almost ranout of fuel in mine thought it may have a bit after the red line no nore there. i was able to hear it sucking air in the tank it was that low.

[Pistol]

yer i never know wen mines gonna run out, ive had it a fraction below the red line but then i put in more. the pump makes an odd gurgling sound all the time too, is that normal...?

[coolngroovy]

yes.they all do it.Start worrying when they dont hum & gargle.Dont forget,the fuel lines & the swirl pot hold fuel too. I've been told upto 3litres.I think its more like 2. Want to hear something stupid? I used to borrow my mates series 2 calais before i bought mine,Guess how i found out the series 1 doesn't have a low fuel light?

[Pistol]

bugger i didnt know any VLs had fuel lights, wish mine had, its got everything else. is it possible to put one in??

[vlv8vic]

mines a series 2 and doesnt have a fuel light.

[VLACS]

what can be done to make the fuel gauge more acurate.
its minor but its something thatll frustrate me till i fix it.

[Pistol]

i dunno if you can fix it, even on more modern jappas they tend to sway about slightly when you corner and hit the anchors. ive got a 96 barina aswell and its fuel guage is really shocking, it only gives a true reading when youre standing still

[coolngroovy]

Dont know. Probably not.I was reading lastnight in an old street machine mag about the police interseptors.Apparently they had a 70 ltr tank.

Your VL should have 1. All the ones I have seen have them.

Mine has 1 in the middle at the bottom between the Speedo and the RPM Meter.

Only series 2 calais have fuel lights as far as I know.
Along with a low coolant warning light.
