The long range factory tank holds two gallons more (7.5 in all). And don't ask me what that is in leeters
Downside is, your boot becomes more of an external glove-box

dont forget the more fuel you will have wil increase the weight of the car and will therefore increase the fuel consumption. less fuel more often is the mini way lol |

I was a poor apprentice sparky once. With only ever five bucks worth of fuel in the tank, I used to drive pretty economically to avoid running out of fuel.. |

The bigger tank only removes about 2 inches of space. Why you'd pack the boot full to 100% with a battery and petrol in there I don't know, but it's not really that much space to loose.

Of course it would! - Only thing better than a bigger tank, would be to do what Mr Cooper did and put in a second one on the other side as well. |

A bloke told me that a VW Beetle tank fits nicely between the twin Cooper S tanks. Just the thing for those that favour a Weber over an SU.
