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?

i think he misunderstood the first post and thoght Andy asked where to get a tank, not how much can one take

i suppose we all make mistakes

kinda funny though

62 litres, so you could squeeze in Ԛ£61 at 99.9p per litre......

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!

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:
