Only if you don't fill it to the top, D2 has a 90L tank

I thought the D3 has a 90-litre tank also? I usually ran it down to 10 or so miles remaining before filling up with premium juice again so that's probably why it was over £100 every time lol.

Not all D2's have a 90L tank, I thought it was just the S8's?

Agreed and is why the D2 will cost you around the same to fill.

No the tank is shared. The 2.8's had a 80L i think.

You'll never empty the tank completely because of the shape of it.

Just checking back on this - is this a daytime or evening event? I couldn't do evening, but may be able to do daytime.
