    Just wondering what size tanks are actually in cars. I have 3.2 L Pajero with what is supposed to be a 90 L tank but recently I've gotten 91 L into it. Now I know it's not a good idea to completely empty a tank but at some point we've all done it so what is the most "over fill" we'll call it, you've got into your tank.

    May be in the lead here, full capacity is 95 litres. Needless to say, it never gets filled.

    That extra 1 Litre is probably the hose connecting the fuel tank to the filler flap.

    My Cooper S is 50 Litres, but it has a drink problem. :D

    Mazda 3 MPS 55 Litres, I have never let the tank go empty but im sure my tank is shaped like an upside down pyramid!! when I fill it do the max it takes about 40 miles for the guage to drop even slightly and then when the guage is showing about 3/4 left it seems to go into freefall with no dramatic change in the way I drive! does anyone else notice this?
