Micra fuelling problem
I have recently purchased a Nissan Micra 1.0L K11 model, which I have owned before (same model different car) and have noticed that even when empty, I can only get about 30/32 litres into the tank when it is a 41 litre tank (still get nearly 350 miles to that!)
I have tried carrying a gallon in a jerry can and waiting for it to start to stutter and run out and still I get the same amount in it. Any idea what the issue is?

Some tanks have a capacity which is greater than the nominal capacity; some don't. You could probably run a lot further on what's left in your tank before refilling.
