Is the 172 cup fuel filter in tank too ?

 

[davebem]

Yeah, its only mk2ph1 clios that have them easily serviceable under the car.

5L will be enough, the book says 5.1 but ive never managed that without going over the max line. You may need some spare for topping up though after a while depending on your engine.
