Are the BT1 fuel tanks actually 90L
Every spec's page i can find on the VS Bt1 say they only had an 80L fuel tank,not 90

sick of the idiots here
From memory the bt1 was just optioned with the 80l regardless of 6cyl or 8cyl.Originally Posted by shanhsv
Only bigger tanks were custom made as far as I was aware.
didn't the VN have a long range 90ltr drop tank???
Vn V8s all came with a 80l drop tank ( no VN had a 90 l tank ex factory)
and
(not sure why) VR V8s had an 84l tank
Smitty...with the VE SSv SII Sportswagon, VK race car and...Kwaka ZX12R
The early VN handbook says the long range tank is 85 litres,the standard tank is 63 litres and the wagon tank holds 68 litres..Ive noticed that in the later VN handbook the long range tank capacity was lowered to 80 litres from 85 for some reason..

Early VN was an 85lt, later VN was 80lt. VR V8 was 80lt as well, not 84lt.

Something like "urban myths" most probably.

All BT1's came with the standard 63 litre tank...the long range tank was an option, as were sump guards and the "cop chip"....nah, just kidding.

Tells it like it is.
Any idea why? Could go some way to explain why VP V6's with P plates in the windscreen are so fast.17/01/1991 from tag L485335 80L TANK REPLACES 85L

The tank supplier decide to trim a little and charge Holden more - just like Cabury's chocky bars

Rule of thumb from my towbar fitting days, all V8 sedans had the bigger tank, they required a different towbar to go around them. A V6 towbar never fitted a V8 because the tank was deeper.
And it isn't a "drop" tank.....

I don't mean to steal your thread dude but upon reading this i just have a small question, would i be able to fit one of these 80-85 litre tank to my V6 VR? I wouldn't mind getting a bigger tank and im sure i could find one to buy, but would a VN tank fit it and how tricky is the swap?
You're better off using a 175g can of Masterfoods Wholegrain Mustard. I just measured that, and it's 9.5cm tall. Keep one in your car at all times, and if a police officer tries the "coke can test", you can tell him what I told you
why is it that i have a 60 litre tank and ill put 40 to 45 litres in and my needle reads full? fuel sender or gage all jacked up? just wondering
dont sweat the petty... pet the sweaty...

Probably cause it's not dead empty when you go to 'fill' up. You'd be surprised how much is left when reporting 'E' on the gauge. Also when you fill, are you letting the pump hit one click and stopping, or waiting a few seconds and continuing slowly?
And if you've physically drained all your fuel, and measure only 40 L to a brim full, then I've got nothing... lol
IF YOR NOT A HOLDEN
rotflmao yeh the supa doopa cop chip not as fast as a left handed pain brush lol
