Does anyone know the exact size of the fuel tank. google suggest it is 50 lt (13.2 gallons) but when the range is showing at 20miles left, I can only fill up 42lts. Do we have a small tank size here in the UK? Thanks

thank you, so why do I get the display stating 20miles range left when there is still 8lts left!, puzzled

 

There's always some in reserve even when it says zero miles left - probably enough for another 30 miles or so - they are trying to make sure you never actually get stranded for running out of fuel.

With older cars it’s worth considering that not all the liquid in a tank may be fuel.  Over.time quite a lot of water can get into the tank.  This can happen through condensation or because it seeped into the fuel station tanks.

If the measured fluid volume includes, say, petrol floating on a layer of water, then the calculated mileage is going to come up short!

Eventually, metal tanks may rust internally.  With an old car it can be worth taking the opportunity to drain the tank occasionally to remove any water in it.
