It should be in your owners manual. But I'd a feeling all V6 magnas had a 72L tank.

Hey Choonga whats the fuel usage like since your 5speed conversion.. Also at 100kays i am assuming the rpm has dropped in 5th. Sorry off the topic.. But yeah.

Yeh when the light first comes on for me i'm at about 58 litres. lowest i've had it is at 67. Didn't want to risk it any further though :P.
