Tried a little test on our new Plus Four. The handbook says the tank holds 43 litres and that a warning light will come on when approximately 6 litres remain. We carried on for another 40 miles after this point, approx 4.5 litres, which meant we should have 1.5 litres left. The gauge was now right on the empty mark and we dare not go any further as there is a warning in the handbook to not let the vehicle run completely out of fuel as this may damage the engine and other components.
We thought we must have been running on fresh air at this point and were somewhat baffled when we pulled into a service station and only managed to squeeze in 31.03 litres rather than the 41.5 litres we were expecting.
Is the size of the tank overstated or do we have a duff one?
