Can anyone remember, off the top of their heads, what the dimensions of the +2 fuel tank are?

Thanks in advance.

Mine is actually out at the moment, and I have a metric tape and can measure it tonight if need be.

Super, thanks! Is it just me or has the world gone mad? Metric from the States and Imperial from Europe(for now)!

Regards,

Pete

Hey you are posting on a Lotus message board, madness is relative...........

Bloody hell, my earlier reply is gone...basically, I grew up in a family that preferred foreign cars, and I helped my dad maintain them as far back as I can remember. Alfas, Sunbeams, VWs, an odd BMW, plus whatever else friends of the family would talk Dad into fixing. Oh and Dad was a psychologist by trade, but he was really good at cars too. Thanks to those cars, I grew up with metric spanners in my hands and I'm still better at recognising metric sizes than Imperial (or 'SAE' as we call it over here). Currently I work for a German manufacturer of industrial machinery and I think my comfort with metric was part of why they hired me.
