Title: Petrol tanks Post by: davidwheeler on 02 September, 2017, 09:44:56 AM What is the capacity of a VIIth torpedo tank? I have just filled Sheila to the brim and the gauge reads 12 gallons which I am not sure is right. Comes to that, Mike, what is the capacity of an VIIIth Weymann Sports Saloon?
Title: Re: Petrol tanks Post by: Sebastien on 02 September, 2017, 10:57:03 AM My Lambda shows 68 litres on The Nivex gauge, which is almost exactly 15 Gallons
And after filling her up the gauge goes to that max figure! Title: Re: Petrol tanks Post by: davidwheeler on 02 September, 2017, 04:21:48 PM Trouble with that is the Nivex is infinitely variable by turning the knob on the back which varies the air resistance. In the Profile it lists the capacity of the I - VI series tank as 13 gallons but nothing about the later cars. How many litres do you put in your tank, that is the question!
Title: Re: Petrol tanks Post by: Sebastien on 02 September, 2017, 04:43:23 PM Ok, let's see:
Yesterday on the road in Italy I put in more than 60 l- however I have no access to the logbook now. I then checked on the Italian Wikipedia page: Serbatoio carburante Capacità del serbatoio carburante: (tutte le serie) litri 68 This indication is the same as on all Lambda Nivex gages inscribed in liters I have ever seen, including a 1st series torpedo.
