Anonymous Unregistered A	Its a little known fact but Fiat expected the Coupe to sell far better than it did. The Plan was for a fleet of re-fuelling tankers to patrol the autostradas/autobahns etc and re-fill the car on the move. On continental models the unit is in the left hand mirror and is a combined sensor/fuel coupling unit not unlike an an aircraft system. Unfortunately the car didn't sell well enough and the Coupe Tanker was cancelled at the protoype stage.
