60lt rings a bell.

I think it's 50, at least it is for the KE55. 60L might theoretically be possible, but the tank is designed to hold 50L + ullage (no fuel tank is ever completely full when the bowser stops pumping.

50l at the most id say

 

I managed to get 47L in and it still didnt read full on the gauge, but i had fuel coming out the fuel cap when it got full :P

47Lt in wagons/vans and 50Lt in sedan/coupes.

 

** I calculated from F to E it was around 40Lts. So I assumed there was 10 from E to empty.

thanks guys thought be around 50 wasnt sure

 

and yeah i had the same thing happen to me once Falken

 

i run it down to just under that bottom line so I'm guessing must had 5-10 litres from the line to bottom of the E

 

cheers all

 

getting great econnomy by the was 11ks per litre or just under that or 9 litres per 100ks

I think it's quite comical that everyone is trusting their fuel gauges in a KE.....mine would never go above 3/4 on an absolute brimming full tank, then after about 100km it would drop to zero and stay there.

 

I know 50L is the full tank size because I've ran out of petrol twice in the KE55, and each time after 5L from a jerry can to get to the nearest servo it took just under 45L to fill completely.

nah neva trust mine mate have a full jerry in the back but what i do trust is my odometer i get same ks week in week out 10ks per litre if not slightly better so after 450ks from a fill better start looking for a servo kinda thing lol.

 

and yeah i fill mine to brim only goes just above 3quaters then after 100 -150ks starts counting down accurately from there
