It's actually 14.5 gallon in some car.
 
Volvo owner's manual indicates that models with engine code 39 (the 6th and 7th digit of your VIN #) have a fuel tank capacity of 14.5 US gallons (55 liters)
 
When fuel empty light is on you have approximately 2.1 gallons left.
 
It's not recommended that you continuously drive with tank near empty. Refuel as soon as possible before it reaches E or you risk damaging the fuel pump
 
It is important to note that the "usable" tank capacity will be somewhat less than the specified maximum (15.9 or 14.5 gallons) to accommodate possible expansion of the fuel in hot weather, as indicated in the owner manual
 
Advice to everyone, any questions or concerns about your vehicle, first consult your owner manual it contains a great deal of information.

#1604 of 1807 S40 Resale value by rosweet

I'm considering a Volvo S40 for my next purchase, however, when it is compared to Acura TsX and other entry level luxury car, the resale value looks not impressive at all. Does anybody know why S40 has bad resale value?

Well, I just ran Manheim on the 2005 Auto TSX and the 2005 Auto S40 T5.
Cars stickered fairly close to each other.
Both cars show auction values between $18-20000.
On average, the TSX is a few hundred higher,but thats it.

I have the caliber off and the new rotor/pads on. When I use the special tool to spin the piston back in, it spin's but does not go back into the caliber. Is there something I am missing?

Don't forget though that you can typically get a better discount off the MSRP on the S40 than you can on the TSX. You need to take that into account.

I'm new to this forum so I might be in the wrong place so bear with me. Last year I bought a used 2001 S40 Turbo and I love it. I am a mechanic but I know little about Volvos. How can I get another 25 or 30 horse out of it without breaking the bank?

Well, there are cheaper chip manufacturers out there. But they are piggy-back chips, not reflashes, like IPD. BUT, you may just get what you pay for.

Does your city already have ethanol in the gasoline? This alone will impact your MPG considerably. I had 31 MPG pre and now get 26MPG.
