Direct from the Original Owners Manual of my 1987 RX-7 GXL:



16.6 US gallons

S4 is 16.6, S5 is 18.6 gallons. On an S5, one gallon is unusable, and the low fuel light comes on at 2 gal usable left.

s5='s 70 liters ~ 18.4 gallons

s5 equals one less pitstop in a 3 hour race@8mpg

and the s5 tank went right into the s4 and the s4 tank went right into the s5.



oh and dont put the 3 rotor into the s4, big engine + small gas tank = gas station tour

do the floats wear out or get water(gas) logged over time...I only get 48 litres on a fillup when gauge reading E. Does anyone carry these parts?
