It is 45litres, the expansion tanks will hold upto 7-8 litres ontop of that imo, i chickened out when it got to 52litres :P Didn't want diesel all over me!

Not disbelieving you, but is there any solid info on the size of the expansion tank available? Just wouldn't have thought it would need to be that big, to cope with temp changes etc.

I've only manged to get a couple of extra litres into it, when I've felt the need.

Still not seen you in Knutsford either Neily, despite being there sometimes daily - my usual filling point is the Shell opposite the Magistrates Court on the A50

I have no idea officially how big it is but i normally fill when the light has come on and regularly put 40-45 litres in on top of the reserve. You can easily get another tenner in after the pumps clicked off.

Thats the same shell i use too. :P I don't actually live in the town but in High Legh about 4 miles down the A50 near the J20 of the M6 (still a Knutsford address though). I can go weeks without seeing another vRS....

Will have to try harder then! When filling the expansion tank, do you keep the end of the filler nozzle on the tab at the side, or do you just push this down once, and that's enough to let the air escape?

Yeah, I know where you mean. I live and work in Altrincham, but goto the gym at Cottons on the A50, and have friends in Knutsford. So I'm quite often in and around the place...

Hell, this has gone a bit off-topic hasn't it?! Off well, it was a repost thread anyway :P

After the pump clicks off initially i hold the spring loaded switch down with the pump nozzle and keep it held down while i then put another

OK - super. I know it's been covered to death before, but hardly ever feel the need to use it, so couldn't remember exact procedure. Will come in handy for long trips though, where that extra range would be most welcome.

You need to keep it held down to let the air out, i just put the side of the pump nozzle against it and hold it outwards (the button moves forwards and back, kinda like a little joystick).

Not sure what petrol prices are like in your area, but it has never cost me as much as

I can get about 50 - 51 litres in if I use the expansion tank space. Think the most every put in (having travelled 15 - 20 miles with the display stating 0 miles to go) was 53 litres.

As to the exact size/space available I have no idea.

Mark

94.9p was the price for derv in soton last i saw, so *55L = 52.20

Are you calling me a liar? Would you like me to email my receipts to you?

You can't get 55 l in the normal tank - unless I've been stiched up with a smaller than normal that is.

I think what he means is 55l when fully filling the tank & expansion tank..... From your post it looks like you only fill the tank and not the expansion tank...... So i can see what you both mean.
