issues, but the car has a 5spd conversion---that was the selling point for me

Included attch is the factory sticker on the 400e tank---hope you can make it out and you know what to look for

UPDATE----NOT POSITIVE IT IS CORRECT BUT--18.5 gallons including 2.4 gallon reserve

Lower left corner "124C 70 REK" = 70L. Here's a pic of the 90L sticker.

It should be 70 liters . . . you can do the translation. There's also a 90 liter version that fits your trunk. It takes up about 3 inches more trunk space . . . it's "thicker."
