Fuel tank. can it really take 75Litres of Petrol

pingman777 · Post by **pingman777** » Mon Oct 30, 2023 10:37 pm

Hello

I have just moved from a Diesel to Petrol

In my Diesel , I had the 75lite tank and could get maybe 72L in . With my Macan S, it seems to cut off at 65litres. I know I ordered the 75L.

Is there a way of checking ?

If you brim it and it doesn't show more that 400 miles range it's 65l.

In my experience I've put in 60+ litres when close to the red, so assuming 10/15 or so is the reserve. And I see range over 500 miles if Im driving sensibly after a full tank.

Take your VIN to an OPC and it will show you what options were fitted at build.

Unless your car has run out of fuel when you refill it then it's likely to be a 75L tank if it takes 65L. The most I've got into mine is 71L with the range showing 18miles.

You certainly can't believe the "range" display, I've never run out but had a couple of nailbiters with fills amounting to: 72.68l, 72.22 and VERY surprisingly 75.5l, no I don't understand that either!

so I filled the car up yesterday , it had 22 miles on the range . Full tank and range is 374!!.. on Macan S

will call Porsche and check as it does not seem I have a 75L although I was charged for it .

My S has a 75 litre tank and my max range display is usually about 390ish miles. Must be the way I drive!

Unless your waiting till it runs out of fuel, there’ll always be some left in the tank

Another incorrect build spec? Wouldn’t surprise me.

the above sentence was missing two words

Take your VIN to an OPC and it will show you what options Porsche think were fitted at build.
