Does anyone know the fuel tank size on the Caterham CSR 260? I have heard different figures, and that the CSR tank is (marginally?) bigger than the standard tank.

Anyhow, a definitive answer from someone in the know would be welcome.

Thanks

Steve

The latest handbook gives the capacities as:

S3: 36 Litres
SV/CSR: 41 Litres

That said, I just filled my tank up having run it down to where it showed just below empty on the gauge - I only got 30 Litres in it, which implies there is a lot of fuel in reserve when the tank is showing empty.

No doubt I will find out if this is true one day when I am cruising around trying to find super unleaded!

I'm fairly sure the CSR has the same size tank as the S3 ie: 36ltrs. Due to the rear suspension and diff arrangement it is a few inches shallower than the SV tank but is the same width.
