Fuel tank capacity

[dmaxwell]

Since it has been a large number of years since I drove my P5 on a regular basis, I have forgotten what the capacity of the gas tank is. I had thought it was 16 US gallons but so far, I have not put in more than 14 US gallons. In looking the service manual, I have not been able to find that particular capacity listed (it may be there and I just missed it). I have no doubt that someone here has that info and would be willing to share it with us.

thanks!

I think it's 14 UK gallons including the reserve which is 2 gallons. If you can only get 14 US gallons in the tank that maybe because you've  not used the reserve

Thanks for the info! Got the driveshaft out of the car right now, making sure it is balanced properly. I may go out for a drive with a 6 gallon gas can filled so I can drive the car out of gas, should be able to figure out the capacity.
