Hey. Does any1 know how many litres the tank holds in a mk 5 zetec s?

cheers sim89 i thought it was 45. i think iv read that sumwhere. hw many miles do u average from a full tank roughly?

[Sim89]

Driving nicely, around 300. Enthusiastically maybe 200 or less.

I have the new ZS, i ran it down to almost empty (5 miles left on the display) just to remove all of the standard petrol, i filled it to the top with BP super unleaded @90p per litre it cost me £45 so 50Ltrs i believe

That's less than my 220!

i'v read that it will do a combined of 38.2 n if the tanks 45 litre then i should get 370 miles i worked out roughly. every month or 2 i go down to wales n do about 320 miles in a round trip so id like to be able to do that on 1 tank.

well that means they have roughly the same size tank, so if anyone asks about the mk6's tanks you now have the answer.
