.......
more than 40 litres of gas
in my 70 litre tank
even after i've ran it out
anyone got any idea's

i know a 70 litre tank only holds 50 summat litres.why yours only holds 40 is a bit odd....

In my old Audi 80 I could only get 48 litres in a 60 litre tank. That's because you're only supposed to fill it up to 80% of the total capacity. It may be a faulty multivalve-the bit in the tank with the float on it. Or it could be the tank needs rotating a little to allow the float to cut off the flow later and let more gas in. I know it might look a little strange, but you could try parking one end or the other on some bricks when you fill it up, to see if the float might allow a little more in, hence the tank might need rotating a few degrees so the float doesn't cut off the gas too soon.

i'll try that
cheers
