Mine usually accepts around 62 Litres when the orange low fuel indicator illuminates.
The most I have managed to cram in was 72 L.

it seems the fuel gauge goes down faster than it uses fuel i was wondering if the tank capacity needs to be set to 65 which is the tank capacity acording to the owners book

On many cars Lexia can be used to alter the fuel gauge readings, looks like you need to do this to make it more accurate.

I noticed that when I was playing with my lexia mine says 42 as well on C5 but I didn't want to fiddle with it just in case as I am new to lexia.
