I have just seen a 2b which I am serious about buying, but it seems to have very small tank and I am worried about its range. Can anyone advise on tank options likely cost and how big a job it is for me to change it or what is the likely fuel consumption for a Ford 2l in good condition in a Robin Hood?

I believe the standard tank is about 25 litres. I have a 1.6 and do about 30mpg if I'm not overdoing it. I think most people think about filling up after about 100 miles. I get very nervous at 120 miles and usually fit in about 22 litres.

Yep, similar story here. I had a 30L tank in mine with a 2L pinto engine which does close to 30mpg if you drive very gently.  I could never manage to properly fill the tank and was usually looking at filling up after 100 miles.  I recently had a new tank made (to my drawing) which holds about 40 litres and I can now fill it.  Did a 200 mile round trip to Stoneleigh the other week and still had fuel left when I got home.

Thanks for info' so far. I have only seen a couple but this one has an unusual spacious boot! Which suggests a tiny tank.

The car (2B) I am really interested in appears to have a petrol tank capacity of about 15 litres, which very small and range restricting. Can anyone enlighten me on tank sizes available and how easy/hard they are to change?

Also I probably should start a new topic for this, but has anyone come up with a quality tonneau style cover than can be fitted when parked up that goes over high back seats? Probably needs to be tailor made I guess, but by who?
