Oh no, this is where you all get to show my calcs are wrong...

Well spotted Andy, I was just using simple terms for us northern lads

It's not your calcs, that does indeed add up to 90 litres.

I think it's the way you've measured it.

If you take a side view it's not a 390 x 320 rectangle because the back of the tank has a big slope on it under the spare wheel.

I don't know what the dimensions will be but you have to take a big chunk of volume off for the slope.

From memory when I was making the tanks for the ARV6’s the standard tank is something like 750 x 360 x 220, less the cutout

Amazed at how small the tank is on mine, can't ever get more than 39 litres in and that very slowly the breather must be tiny

Open the other fuel cap, you won't get a breather bigger than that 😁

My tank is 55 litres. I ran it as low as I dared to calibrate the fuel gauge and I managed to get 52 litres in.

It only has the one cap - the 2 filler models were a lot earlier Peter.

My handbook states 12.5 Imp Gallons but like you around 40 litres for me is the top up.
