2021 Xingrui fuel tank noise issue has been resolved. Definition of Fuel Tank: A fuel tank is a container used in vehicles such as cars or aircraft to store fuel, specifically designed to hold hydraulic oil in hydraulic systems. Functions of Fuel Tank: In addition to storing gasoline, the fuel tank can also dissipate heat and separate air bubbles from the oil. It can be classified into two types: open fuel tanks and closed fuel tanks. Hydraulic Oil: Hydraulic oil is the hydraulic medium used in hydraulic systems that utilize liquid pressure energy. It plays roles in energy transmission, wear resistance, system lubrication, corrosion prevention, rust prevention, and cooling within the hydraulic system.
As an owner of the 2021 Xingrui, I experienced a sloshing noise from the fuel tank about half a year after taking delivery, especially noticeable when the tank was half full. I specifically visited the dealership, and they identified it as a design issue—the fuel tank lacked an internal baffle, causing excessive fuel sloshing noise. Geely actually issued a technical bulletin by the end of 2021, offering free replacement with an improved fuel tank. After the replacement, I've driven over 10,000 kilometers without any recurrence of the noise. I recommend other owners encountering this issue to directly register for a claim. The entire process takes about three hours and is completely free, including both parts and labor. Essentially, this isn't a major fault, just an annoyance to the ears.
