D3 fuel tank capacity

The fuel tank capacity in the D3 specs is listed as 82 litres but whenever I fill her up (before the reserve light comes on), it usually takes ±80 litres Shocked . Is the capacity bigger than advertised or am I delusional Question Has anyone measured the std tank capacity if one fills it up to the top of the filler neck Question

Doc,

Best was 85.5 litres. My fuel light comes on at about 80km range, but that's not be trusted too much.

Thanks Rob. It looks like the capacity is approximately 86 litres. This gives me a better feel for range calculations as I am a bit distrusting of instrumentation displayed range Rolling Eyes

I filled up from the warning saying 15 miles to go 81 litres, a grin inducing £84 in Gibraltar Very Happy (In Spain fuel virtually the same as UK prices) Club Narpy Torch
