MY17 Fuel Tank Size

[ferret99]

Hi,

We ordered a MY16 van but will get a MY17 due to the change over between order and build. I now see everyone is specifying a 80l fuel tank which was standard on the MY16 I believe. Has anyone else been in the same situation and is able to confirm that I will receive an 80l tank by default?

Think a 80 l tank was option and 70 was standard as from the T6 , no?

The tank size was reduced for MY17 to make room for the Addblu tank.

Yes sorry 70l in MY16 brochure.

So does anyone know if I will get 60 or 80? At say 34mpg in a 204 60 is only 449 miles, which isn't amazing, whereas the vehicle I ordered has a 70l tank, more than two gallons more!

Actually, maybe I have this all wrong! I thought the standard size for MY17 was actually 60l whereas it seems to be 70l, same as MY16.

Ok , calm down....
On a T5 , tank holds 80l
The 6-er has reduced tank to 70l as to save weight or space ? Who knows? for 10l ad-blue tank.
The option is a 80l tank .
Where they put the 10l ad-blue on thatone i don't know....

How far would you like to drive without stopping for a pee/food/sleep/fuel?
