Sorry I do not.
BUT what is it a Fiat or a Pug...because I do know this. Never fill a Fiat to absolutely full. It can overflow and cause diesel to fly all around when travelling. It goes everywhere, it makes things that never made a sound scream like the devil. We had it happen to us. Seems there is a saucer shaped bowl on the top of the tank...and that is where an overfill gets and would sit IF you were not moving. 10 mins after you pull away from pumps is when the noise starts. Suspension springs move and the diesel gets between them, oh what a noise. You could not imagine it. Especially as diesel is an oil type.
Seeing a bargain price for it and filling up to trigger cut out is not a good idea.

It's not to do with Swift. You need to know the base vehicle and then look up the specs either in a handbook or on-line.

I've never heard about the problems with diesel spillage, but I have had to get the rear spring hangers on my van dismantled and new bushes fitted because of unearthly squeaking noises.

Just asked the question on google and it says 90 litres
I have a pug and my book says 90L although I did read somewhere that as an option it could be 100L
I would say in general it’s 90L

Fuel gauge didn’t work on our previous VW Autosleeper. We worked out the max & min mpg and made sure we filled up by 400 miles (minimum mileage on a full tank) then made sure we’d zeroed the trip.
I’d have thought the fuel tank capacity would be in the vehicle handbook.

Alan551, what is the reason for the question please?
Is it because the fuel gauge is not working?
