  • Scenic (1998) fuel tank capacity? 10 Sep 2003 (Forum)
    Hi, Is the Scenic fuel tank really 60l (from Haynes manual)? I am only squeezing in about 45l with the needle resting on empty. Could maybe get a few more l in, but not 10-15! My oil level guage definately has a mind of its own, so perhaps the fuel guage is reading low? Would be good to know
