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 ?

60ltr on yours as its a 97 ;)

Tony:)

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 ?

The very early wrx's had 50ltr tanks, that and sports ;) NA cars.

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

MattyB1983 25 November 2011 05:27 PM

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 ??

Anybody,,,,please.

Really need to get this solved before Monday. Even thinking about completely draining the tank and then filling from scratch.

Your car will take 60 ltrs, trust me ;)

Ok Tony, I'll trust ya and go with 60litres. So gonna need 12litres of methanol in there for a 20% mix..

Tony, the tank is 60litres but how much would you guess was in the car if I brim it.

Thanks buddy, your advice is very much appreciated.
