Anyone owned a Spitfire (Triumph not Supermarine!) and know the exact petrol tank capacity?

Thanks, Ian.

This page shows the following


Fuel capacity tip for all you late model Spitfire owners: Install a early pre-smog gas tank from a MkI or MkII or MkIII (maybe early MkIV) with the vented gas cap. It holds a full 10 gallons versus the 9 in yours. Reason being the filler pipe extends into the tank an inch or so in the late cars leaving an air pocket at the top of the tank of about 1-gallon capacity for venting to the charcoal canister.



that answers your question I think...
