Can I only add 50 yuan worth of gasoline?

You can add only 50 yuan worth of gasoline, depending on the car owner's specific situation. It is generally recommended to fill the tank to about 60-70% of its capacity. This helps reduce the vehicle's weight and avoids potential hazards associated with a full tank. According to experienced drivers' habits, the best time to refuel is when the tank has about 1/4 of fuel left. If the fuel level is too low, the fuel pump may frequently be exposed to air, leading to overheating. Prolonged driving under such conditions can cause the fuel pump to burn out. Keeping the fuel pump properly immersed in gasoline helps it dissipate heat more effectively. Typically, a single refueling should last about 15 days, as gasoline, especially ethanol-blended gasoline, has a limited shelf life. Ethanol gasoline is highly absorbent, and if the air humidity is too high, moisture can mix with the gasoline, potentially causing engine issues after combustion. For car owners who drive frequently and cover long distances, filling up the tank completely can save time by reducing the need for frequent refueling.
