How big is fuel tank on SE?

[golfingoalie]

When I bought it said 70L tank...today was first fill up from when the gas light came on and it took 64L (660 km to this tank)...I can't imagine the gas light comes on with 6L still in tank...how big is the fuel tank?

The specs for SE call out 18 gallons (68.14 Lt), so its conceivable that you'd have that much in the tank. The low fuel warning is conservative - it will leave you enough warning so you don't run dry.

The V8 models have 19 gallon cap. tanks (71.9 Lt)

I had mine on a lift and it has a sticker on it that says 18 gallons.

But then only 4L for the low fuel light? That is barely 25 miles of driving if you are lucky... my old car would trip the light at about 7 L and it was a 4 banger!

My low fuel light comes on with about two gallons left.
