There is an old article from the Motor Trader that is downloadable from this very site. Go to the home page, then Misc, then Everything 4AD. The link is in the second sentence.
Or here is the direct link:http://www.singercars.com/4ax/motortrader.pdf

Quite a bit of very useful information.

Stephen,

It's on the last page of the article with the fill up data. 2 pints (english pints I would suppose) as BRG indicated.
