My slope is accurately measured at 100x40mm (& quoted above)so that only knocks a couple of lts off max

Hello,
1 year ago as I was riding from Paris to Geneva lake with my 2001 Plus 8 for a trip across Alpes with some friends, I suffered from fuel gauge misinformation and was near an out of gas break.

I put 59,16 liters (see the picture), my precedent record was 58 liters so my fuel tank must be 60 liters !

I think you must have the all time record there, and loads of luck.

You probably filled the pipes from the neck to cap as well.

“They don’t all do that, sir”

My record is 61.95 in Augustow Poland, also 60.18 in Cambridge. have an Ali tank in my +8

Sounds like a classic MMC explanation! How about "Well, it's a Morgan - you have to work on it.". Or "Oh, we have never heard of that before!"

By the way, what is the max range you guys get out of a full tank?
I have the 2018 Plus 4 GDI but can rarely beat the 600km, making it more than 9L per 100km (or about 25mpg) with the 55L tank. I can't imagine that a lightweight like the Mog with an engine built for a quite heavier car would drink that much...

Moreover, I recently worked on the engine and disconnected the battery. After the next start, my average fuel consumption was at 260L/100km - what a spaceship! Any ideas on how to reset this ridiculous indicaton?
