The other than US versions of the w210 chassis came with a minimum 60 liter capacity. The US market usually gets all the luxuries and by default get the 80 liter tank. From what I read the smaller 60 or 65 liter unit has a square in the middle of it to allow for a "ski-boot" like access to the rear seat....

Correct me if I'm wrong someone.

Not on mine.

AFAIK, my '96 has a 65 liter tank (per owner's manual -- 16.4 gallons). Perhaps they went to a larger size in 1998?

The 98-99 is a 70L tank with an additional 10L reserve for 80L/21.1 gals total.

Anoyne who has put more in is mistaken or a mech has run compressed air in the tank in a vain attempt to push fuel up to the IP and blown out the alumimun walls of the tank.
