A fairly standard size.

I'm not familiar with your car/buggy but mine takes about 15 minutes (never
really timed it) with a .15 sized engine. Of course, tuning and gearing will
make a difference.

You mean at the end of the day until you next race it? If so, yes run it
dry. The fuel will absorb water and cause corrosion, therefore you should
run the tank dry. Some would recommend an "after-run" oil be added, I've
never used it myself but then I don't live in a humid environment.

946.3529cc if you need to be exact.

That size tank will give about 15 mins run time or more, depends on what
type of driving you are doing and of course what size engine you have
fitted...My nephew has same car with a GP10 Engine, but now has a 4oz
Aircraft tank fitted....There is no need to drain the tank between refills
(Unless you have dirt in your fuel).

Regards.......Mark.
