Sometimes when I fill up the pump shuts off before I think it should. If I rock
the car side-to-side a bit I can ofter get another gallon in. I don't know if
the filler tube projects into the tank or not, but if it does, by rocking the
car it allows some air out of the tank making room for more gas. It's worth a
try.

Dented bottom of tank, may tank has collapsed a bit due to a vacuum
caused by a blocked vent/fuel cap in the past?

Subject: [Healeys] Fuel Tank Capacity
Roger I have the same problem. They say it was supposed to be over 14
gallons or about 54 liters. I ran mine out of gas. Put two gallons into.
Should have been able to fill it with 12 gallons - distance to the station
was less than a mile. I actually put in 8.5 gallons. I looked through the
Moss Cat. and can find no specs. on the capacity of the tank.
So I just have to plan carefully where I am going. Here in NV you can go
long distances between stations.
I wonder how many other folks have the same problem???

US vs Imperial ltrs?
The *US* gallon is used in the United States and is equal to exactly 231
cubic inches or 3.785411784 *liters*. The *Imperial* gallon or *UK* gallon
is used in the United Kingdom and is equal to approximately 277.42 cubic
inches. Its exact value is defined as 4.54609 *liters*. One *imperial* gallon
is approximately 1.2 *US* gallons.

always thought it was a 12 US gallon tank. Maybe you have lots of crud in
your tank...
I get about 18 MPG and can go over 200 miles between fill ups on long drives

Verbatim per the workshop manual for a ?62 BT7:
12 Imp., 14.4 U.S. gallons (54.5 litres).

P.S. Starting with a full tank I have run out of gas after only 130 miles. I
might have had the carbs a bit too rich but I was driving Fast and Furious
through the Santa Cruz Mountains!
