Try 70 liters total, the 11 liter reserve is included in the 70 liters.

Oh really? welp I'm a dumbass then ...
In that case, I guess it's working just like it should, except that my low fuel light doesn't work. I'll have to pull the sending unit and see what's up.

My reserve light does not work either. I found out that it did not work when I nearly ran it out of fuel!

Same here, light not working, found out at around 3:00 am Christmas one year.

I don't get below a half tank any more.

I put refilling on my to do list slightly below 1/2 tank. That way I can usually fill at my convenience and not when I have a bunch of stuff planned and am running late. I try not to park for the night without enough fuel to take care of the entire next day and have no idea whether or not my low fuel warning light is working.
