Default Fuel tank

I've got a STI V3 which I believe has 50litre total capacity.
But is it 50litres brimmed to the neck or is it just the tank itself that has a 50litre capacity ?

Cheers Tony.
So it's the tank that's 60litres not 60litres brimmed to the neck.

Basically I'm asking as I'm off for a meth mix on Monday. I've been told to turn up with enough room in my tank for 10litres of meth. Add the meth when I get there and top up with VPower.
If it was a 50litre tank that would give me my 20% mix.

Also,
Just done a little research and can only see 60litre tanks in all Classic JDM cars. Which models had different sized tanks ?

I would imagine the tank capacity is just that the capacity of the tank the neck would be extra.

So has anybody got any ideas what my car would hold, total. Brimmed to the neck.
Also, a pal has just said his V2 100% had a 50litre tank....
Is he mistaken ??
