i dont know the exact size to be honest i'm going by how much it is to fill up... i run the car till the fuel light is about to come on and then i fill it to the brim... using v power at about £1.40 litre it costs about £70

£1.40 x 70 = £98 its never that much

£1.40 x 60 = £84 - £70 = £14/£1.40 leaves a 10 litre reserve... didnt think the reserve would be much more than that but i could be wrong...

lets not forget all the different types of brakes volvo put on these cars... why should fuel tanks be any different??

Well, mine is a 75 litre tank, that's around 16.5 gallons and at my local Texaco fuel station, super unleaded was £1.36 a litre last sunday when i filled up, that's over hundred quid!!!!!
But with the nice weather we have had over the last few weeks, the car gets to running temperature quicker, so it's better on fuel and it's been returning over 32mpg (average). So your looking at well over 500 miles to a tank, which i know the car will do as i do a lot of miles.
But there is a down side, mine is the guttless 2.0ltr non turbo.
