I put 1/2 tank in the AU when I sold it. Just enough to get the new owners on their way.

I wouldn't expect it to have more than 1/4 tank. I think in the current climate of high petrol prices most would understand that a used car would only have bugger all fuel in it.

I have never given it a thought when selling privately, but the last 2 that were traded I made sure I used up as much as I could prior to trade in
