I have a Backdraft built in 2017/2018 with the stock plastic tank with 70 litres capacity as mentioned by the factory representative. The stock BDR fuel level gauge is also irregular and dips and drops as I accelerate and brake and cruise, so the correct fuel level is usually an average of the needle movement...

I have also learnt the hard way to never fill the tank to the brim right before parking the car in the garage. The fuel sometimes seeps out the top through the fuel-pump- and sender-unit gaskets a bit. Rather fill her up just before a drive.
