Type 3 fuel tank capacity??
Just wondering what is the VW booklet listing for the capacity of a TLE fuel tank? Also any idea what is listed for amount left when it hits
RESERVE?
Im getting roughly 300 miles from my tank with the EJ20T in it which I thought is pretty good. I think the tank is around 40 litres???
1971 Type 3 Fasty - EJ20T
I love 242HP sleepers. 
How many sets of lights does it take a $229k Carrera S to learn? 
UPDATE: Cayman S, M3, B4 now added to the list. |

OK 40 litres. Any idea of the amount left in the tank when it hits reserve or is the reserve just like the last 1/4 tank.
That fuel milage is based on combined driving and the fact that my fuel sender is correct cause when the tank hits 1/2 ive usually done about 150-160
miles.

Well 1/2 would be 20 L
1/4 would be 10 L
so the reserve would be 1/8 of a tank so 5 L i suspose or just over a Gallon
The trick is to fill the tank when the needle is just on the reserve so you should add 35 liters then you know the gauge is reading right
