GP fuel tank size?

I know that the 4-seaters have a 50L/13.2 gallon tank. Does the GP have a larger tank? Cause she gets more than 50 when I fill her up. Is it normal or do I have to complain to the petrol station? Thanks.

I'm pretty sure you have the same tank as the other first-generation cars.

Even though MINI refers to it as a "50 L" tank, I've seen fill-ups as high as 54 L.

I agree that you can fill more than 13.2G/50L. I do not think the MINI counts the filler tube in the capacity of the tank.
