Herman, according to the "Owners Handbook" of 1977 Tank capacity for the
4/4 4-seater is 10 gallons/45 litres/12 US-gallons.
For the 2-seater it is 8.5 gallons/39 litres/10 US-gallons.
97 Octane minimum!
Hope this helps.
Just fantastic.... many thanks...39 liters.. should this be the same for a +4 -1.6 ford 2 seater. from april 1978 ?
and are you sure it says 97 octane minimum ?
is it possible to e-mail me this page... tavernier@telenet.be
many thanks. Herman

Herman, you should get it today. About +4's I'm not sure. For the 4/4 I doubt that there is a difference between 1977 and 1978 as it is virtually the same car with the same engine. If your car was restored it may have a bigger tank (see below)
@Graham: As with everything Morgan tank capacities may vary a little from car to car. Quite a few of my friends with Morgans from the sixties and seventies fitted slightly bigger stainless tanks when the original rusted through or (more often) split. If my memory serves me 45 litres are possible.

If (perhaps that should be when?  ) I have to replace the tank on RTA it will be for a larger one. Though having said that, 200 miles is probably all I could stand at one go! The newer car is SO MUCH more comfortable! Cheers,
