Really a 60 litre tank? 700 1986

According to the various Volvo manuals I have, the 740 wagons all have a 60 litre tank. I have on occasions run the tank very low before filling up but only managed to put about 35 litres (max) of petrol in. After filling up, the fuel gauge reads full (the needle passes the end of the scale). I have also (accidentally) run the tank dry a couple of times - both times the car stalled when out of gas and the fuel gauge read empty (in the red).

So either the 740 doesn't have a 60 litre tank, or Volvo litres are different to British litres, or there's a problem. I guess it's the latter.

Any thoughts welcome.

William
