How much is it possible to get into a 1990 325i tank?

Have had the fuel light on before now and only managed to squeeze Ԛ£42 pounds or so in.......


So last night we went out for a meal about 20 miles away, tank not on empty but I thought maybe I better put some petrol in just to be safe.......

Almost Ԛ£47 pounds later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did have the details on the recipt but can't find it :cry:

Have you considered the *crazy* idea that the fuel might have been cheaper?
318iS became MR2 Turbo became FTO GPX Mivec became Impreza became Rover 620Ti became Honda S2000 (current) became Fiesta 1.25 and 200SX Drift Slag (when the Honda has gone)

My 323i tank is 55 litres. I think the M3 has a bit more.

Not helpful but that is all I know.

Most I've ever squeezed into the Touring was 56ltr. The light hadn't come on either!
This is why I no longer drive an E30......

My car seems to have a massive amount of fuel in it when the gauge is in the red.

The other day I kept driving about with the gauge off the red by a good amount and the light was on, I kept pushing my luck until I thought I wouldn't get away with it anymore and stuck Ԛ£17.

Reset the trip counter and the gauge showed just above the red.

If I brim the tank the gauge reads full. It's great when people try and cadge a lift, you know the type, the ones that always need a lift and a smoke and a "Can I use your phone, I've got no credit"

Sorry, the gauge is on the red :lol:
