According to Volvo the fuel tank (on a 1998 V70XC, built in 12/97) holds 70 liters (18.4 gallons) maximum. There is a small amount fuel that can not be used (as per the Owners Manual). Now.... is the 1.8 gallon reserve included in the 18.4 total or is it 1.8 gallons more fuel (this is what I thought)?
The reason I ask is that I filled the tank yesterday for the first time since the dealer filled it when I got it. It took 18.799 gallons. 18.799? Either the pump was not right or I don't know what the actual max fuel capacity is. I believe the total capacity may be 20.2 gallons (18.4+1.8), or is it 18.4 including 1.8 reserve + some more fuel somewhere.
I also know that you can't use all of the fuel you put in when filling up, so that the total "USEABLE" fuel capacity is what I am looking for here. ANY IDEAS?!?!?!?!?!
This is for my spreadsheet that tracks fuel use/cost and mileage.
Any help is sincerely appreciated!!!!!
