    6 cyl Fuel tank size

    Please help me before I go insane.

    Did early 6 cyl LWB (not S/wagon) have larger fuel tanks than the 4 cyl models?

    I seem to recall that they did.
    Looking at the tank sideways when installed, I think they looked like an "L" shape with the extra section at the front, whereas the 4 cyl simply had a a "square" shape with no extra section at the front.

    Am I correct or dreaming?
    Before: Ser 2a LWB, Ser 3 S/W, 1979 RR 2 door, 1981 LR Stage 1 V8 (new), 1985 LR 110 V8 County (new), 2009 RRS TDV8
    Now: MY13 D4 TDV6. "E" rear diff. Cambo's magic Engine & Auto Tune. 1968 Austin 1800 Mk1 auto (my 5th)

    I've had a couple of SWB's with 16gallon tanks.
    I had a spare but sold it some years back, I think it came from Four Wheel Drives (now long gone).

    Series 16 gallon tanks

    Here's one original & one aftermarket by the look of it.
