Yeah I was hoping because the floor pan is similar in the ute and wagons the tank might have been the same. If I get another tank it's gonna have to be a ute one. Spose it couldn't be really since if it was the rear passengers would be sitting on a tank....

I'll see if I can get my microfiche reader out today and look at the spare parts listing that I have and see what the part numbers are between the tanks and if there is a capacity explanation.

Yepp definitely not 63 litres. If it was I could get 580km out of a tank, where as am lucky to get 400 and that's if I fill it to overflow, with economy at roughly 10.5 - 11lph, depending on what speed I sit on.

I think I might have to add a new tank to the wish list.

ute fuel tanks are prone to rust so someone has modded a tank to fit
