Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - Fuel Tank size

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?

Sir P

Morgan, please don't.

I've just spent the week driving my Mrs car - first time I driven it for any distance. Despite the fact that it accelerates like a scalded cat, the driving experience was miserable. Automatic, auto handbrake, auto hold, lane assist warnings, auto wipers, auto lights, auto braking, ABS, anti skid, warnings to shut the windows, slow down for roundabouts blah blah blah. Transport for those who have given up on driving.

Can't wait to get back into my very analogue MG or Morgan and get the fun back.......
