    The tank is in two parts, and I suspect the last bit - to get the fuel in the furthest half - has difficulty in burping the air due to an intricate path. Then again, it could also be stored in the expansion tank, which seems quite large.
    Exactly what I've experienced - patience be the key, though!

    I've come back into Sydney on the end of the F3 with the warning light flashing telling me it's has 5km to go, and 0km once I pulled into the first shell on the left on the pacific highway, I put in 64.5 litres, wouldn't want to work it much finer than that...

    Yep ... that's pretty impressive!

    Considering the tank capacity is officially 64.0 L
