    It still has 10 litres of fuel, which is quite a bit. I'm leaning towards a fuel pump issue inside the tank. The interesting thing I noticed after rewatching the before/after video was that the fuel gauge didn't move when I put 5 litres from a petrol can in (it was sat on about 1/8 of a tank before and after). Maybe its a simple setup issue? Car settings set for 50 litre tank... I assume thats electronic even though the float is mechanical?

    This guy gives a pretty good run down on the in tank fuel pump.
