Standard tank size on E220 CDi?

I've searched and looked and can't find anywhere that tells me the standard fuel tank size on a UK spec E220 CDi. I know the bigger engine models come with an 80 litre tank, and you can get the 80 litre tank as an option for £80 on the smaller engines. But.. what's the standard tank size?

If the standard is 65 litres or less it's probably worth spending the £80 on a larger tank so i have to fill up less often. But if the standard tank is 70 or 75 litres it's not really worth it.

Also - with the larger tank, do you lose any space in the boot/trunk?

Thanks,
Russ.

Think its 60. No loss of boot space with bigger tank. Would go for it, small cost. Only lose a little boot space if you have airmatic.
