    No should be the same unless its a V8 (80L tank) or has the long range tank fitted (again 80L).

    I always thought longe range in V6 was still the 80L. Pretty poor 'long range' tank when its only another 5L.

    Only the early V8's were 85L weren't they? After that all 80L?

    Wagons were all 68L whether they were V6 or V8.

    My old VP was larger then 63.. With dints in the tank he could go max of 71 litres near empty, But it never looked the size of a 80L.

    Was there ever a 73L option?.

    No. If you put 71L in near empty that'd definitey be an 80L tank. You wouldn't be able to run a 73L tank that dry unless it actually was empty.

    most tanks have around a 10% air space in them.
    On most cars it is hard to fill that space up though.

    This was a one off.

    But normally we give it about 66-68L, Still not on red.
    But after seeing so many 80l tanks, It just doesn't looks that huge or sit that low, But it does come down further then other executives i have seen.

    Under car Tank pick dints and all

    68L would still be an 80L tank especially if its not on red.

    How many L do you put in the VT? More or less than the VP? (VT is 75L tank).

    How big the tank for a S1 VN Executive? Whenever I fill up, I can normally get in about 50L, so I'm guessing it'll be slightly more than that.

    Yeah mine does that as well. Makes me happy when I can do like 100km's and the needle is only just sitting on Full but then it drops really quick and it makes me sad
