Mine was 25. Too small to get decent touring range, even with a mild pinto.

20 litres. Not great for touring. Had to make 4 fuel stops when I went to Stoneleigh.

Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

Mines about 30litres, and fitted behind the diff, that frees up a lot of room for a decent sizes boot.

My Fury has a modified MG Midget tank with an extra bit welded to the bottom to make it about 8 gallons. It gave a 200 mile range with the Crossflow. Hopefully that might go up a bit with the Duratec.

25l, which gives the best part of 200 miles with Zetec. More than enough before a stop is needed.
