Here is a word by word translation of Keshyathree (our Member from Smartville) answer:
Quote:
The minimum certified capacity is 33l. with the reserve. Of course, not included are parts of the tank that cannot be emptied, and the plastic warps with time and that can allow to put more in it.
The 5l. reserve is a display, it starts of course not when there is 5l. but a bit earlier to make sure hat, whatever the position of the vehicle, there is a minimum of 5l.
In short, since those figures are somewhat binding, the manufacturer gives always the minimum amount that he can vouch for.

Note: 33l. = 8.717678 US gal.; 5l. = 1.32086 US gal.
