How much fuel does the tank hold on a '75 kombi?

Dunno bout a 75, but I got a 72 and it takes about $55 dollars worth paying 95 cents a litre
so bout 52 litres I guess

I Have a 77 panel, and in the factory hand book that came with the car from new, it states 56l, five of which are reserve.

On the lines of fuel.......
For a stock 1600 kombi how many litres per 100 kms? I seem to be using a fair bit but maybe thats normal for a kombi and its weight...can I get some feedback please?

you really dont want to ask this question - just enjoy the experience of driving a kombi

I have a 2L auto T2.5/3
I will defend my answer by saying 90% of the driving done is cold, it doesnt get a chance to go into 3rd. It is my wifes and its a real kid carrier.

Anyway if i get 16L/100kms i am happy is it is the round town stuff. I can get up to 12L/100kms if we go camping and we do a cruise.

Yep its heavy but like the other day we went to West Head and had 8 peoples in the car. Feels the same with 1 in the car. So on that side it is better than taking 2 beetles:bounce

According to the Haynes (U.S.) manual for 1972-1979, 56 litres.

It would not be a huge surprise to find other capacities in Australia.
