My car has a standard metal tank but like some of the replies can only get 49
litres (= 13 US gals into it) measured at a gas pump. Well I thought that it
was standard.
Maybe pumps are not correctly calibrated and getting free gas ... ha ha
Suspect that is an original manufacturing quality issue and that many people
could have this issue (smaller tanks) with their cars but not realize it as
they rarely run out or drain their tanks and simply ?fill up?
Any other ideas welcome

Are we talking about a new steel or aluminium tank, I have measured a new alloy
tank and a original steel tank and they are almost identical in size.
I have filled up the OE tank with about 14 gals of water. The poured that into
the new tank and the capacity of the new tank is actually a little larger.

If you are getting that kind of mileage you are not driving it hard and fast!

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

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???
