Filling Procedure: Insert the pump nozzle fully into the neck, and
fill until the auto-shut off mechanism is triggered. Do not attempt
to 'brim' the tank to the top of the filler neck, as expansion of
the fuel due to temperature change (e.g. cold underground fuel
storage) may cause flooding of the fuel tank breather system
charcoal canister, or spillage of fuel.
The total usable fuel capacity is 16 U.S. gall (60 litres), but
for re-fuelling purposes, from the time the low fuel tell tale is
triggered, approximately 13 U.S. gall (50 litres) can be accom-
modated. Note that from the point of low fuel tell tale activation
to the gauge reading empty is around 1.3 U.S. gall (5 litres).
NOTICE
The remaining balance of approx. 1.3 U.S. gall (5
litres), should be treated only as an emergency contingent, the
use of which may entail intermittent fuel starvation dependent
on driving conditions, and potential engine damage. In such a
situation, driving style should be modified to minimise engine
load and cornering forces.
If maximum engine or handling performance is to be exploited,
or severe gradients tackled, a high fuel level should be main-
tained to ensure the greatest safety margin of fuel supply.
