The most I've ever got into my tank on filling up is about 35 litres from apparently showing it's on vapours,according to the gauge, and the first click off at full fill. Since the tank is supposed to be 55litres that is 20 litres adrift! Haven't had the bottle yet to test out where the other 20 litres are and also work on the trip meter for piece of mind! It's a MorganSir....they all do that! +1

I have the large top half, small bottom half tank. (Unsure but it looks rectangular to me) The gauge shows full for the first half then drops to near empty. I use the trip meter and get fuel at 250 miles.

on my 2005 PLUS 4, the first 180 km are free (offered by Morgan), the hand is full right and cannot be seen. But after she drinks a lot!
When 0 is reached, it remains 12 liters.
The average fuel consumption for 100 km is 7 liters. Impressive: your gauge is precisely as accurate as mine! 180km then hand moves then roughly 10 liters left when at pump. Even though the process of doing the math every time we're at the pump may sound fun, his SHOULD be solved by MMC. Cheers, Vladimir

Exactly. Fill up and the needle sits on full for about 160 miles, it then starts to fall and at 200 miles it is at half. Having got that far it loses the will to live and falls rapidly towards empty. I normally fill up at 250, but think through the matter it is clear I should, assuming a 5L reserve and a 55L tank with an average of 28 mpg, be able to go to over 300 miles. So far I've not had the nerve to do so!.

My fuel guage seems to be pretty good. Sometimes after a fill it shows just under full and at other times it shows full. When it shows empty I have about 20 kms reserve. For me that is as it should be.

For me that is as it should be. Peter I think you need to report that as a fault to MMC as nobody elses's seems to be that accurate!  There were a few times in the early days before I used the trip meter method that  was oblivious to my panic that at some point in our journey whilst I was that I would need to expain to her that she needed to get out and push!
