Fuel Tank Capacity – There has been quite a lot of discussion with regards to fuel tank sizes. Holden specs insist the VN SS Commodore was released with an 85Litre tank, although many owners have provided information stating different sizes. I believe that perhaps if towbars were fitted (and depending on the size of the towbar) smaller tanks were required.
