nfbr Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 VW advertise the lupo as having a 23 litre fuel tankYesterday i put 29.74 litres of diesel in, and it was just on the verge of being full - Does my car have a bigger tank? Or is my Filling station giving false measures?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 The GTI tank is 34 litres according to the manual in my car so I guess the other Lupos would be the same........how empty was your tank when you filled it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I've managed to fit over 40 litres in mine, so I think there's a bit more room than they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 i've always been told, and have read, that the lupo has a 36 litre tank with a 6 litre reserve! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petes 16V Sport Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 (edited) i've always heard the lupo has a 34 litre tank with a 6 litre reserve to, and it says it in my 2001 lupo brochure style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> Edited March 27, 2006 by Petes 16V Sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petrified Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I've never been able to put more than 28 litres in my sport style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh:" border="0" alt="huh.gif" /> It's a bit strange going from a 58litre tank to the lupo style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I will check mine again tonight..........could have read it wrong.Mine is a 52 plate, but should not be any different I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petes 16V Sport Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 maybe the 34 litres includes the reserve if you've only got 28 in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 So, are the tanks officially different sizes for different models?In theory the GTi has the possibility of more space for a bigger tank as it has no spare wheel well, but the exhausts are still there.

Petes 16V Sport Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 according to the 2001 brochure, they are all 34 litres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunalupi Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 (edited) I (apparently) get 35ish litres, of which about 6 litres is the reserve bit when the fuel light comes on... Edited March 27, 2006 by lunalupi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 (edited) I only get 23 litres.Most (cash) I've ever got into the tank was £25 to the brim. Edited March 27, 2006 by Tigz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunalupi Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I'm not sure whether to believe them - maximum I've ever filled up with would be sub-30litres, and I was running on fumes when I pulled in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfbr Posted March 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I can't find my brochure now... it was in a 2005 brochure by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petes 16V Sport Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 2005 brochure says 7.5gallons or 34litres, ooo you get the choice of two units now, very fancy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted March 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 (edited) yup ---- just found my brochure and it says 34 litre...God knows where i got 21 from then lol...which makes my car even less economic to what i initially figured...The best MPG i've ever had out of it is 45.3... pretty crap eh...

LINCOLNSHIRESLUPOGTI Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Most I have got in was 33 litres and that was from off the white line below the red and pressing the pressure release button many times.Most in cash is £32 when I paid over a £1 a litre at some service station style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry:" border="0" alt="mad.gif" /> NFBRThat is quite low for a diesel, your car is chipped though isnt it? Was it more economical before you had it chipped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMon Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Just filled up tonight after 20 miles of the fuel light being on (in urban traffic) and got 30 litres in. I didn't fill the overflow though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
