Has the fuel tank noise issue in Xingrui been resolved?
3 Answers
Xingrui fuel tank noise issue has been resolved. Specific reasons: Insufficient engine oil level reduces oil pump output or causes air intake preventing oil pumping, leading to oil pressure drop; excessively high engine temperature thins the oil, causing massive leakage through clearances and resulting in oil pressure drop. Solutions: Normally, the oil indicator light should illuminate when turning on the ignition and extinguish after engine start; if it remains lit, first check for oil shortage; if oil level is normal, inspect the oil warning switch and circuits; if all these are normal, it's best to have a repair shop examine engine and oil pump issues.
I remember driving the Xingrui, and the fuel tank noise issue was quite a headache. Early models indeed had this sound, especially when turning or accelerating—you could hear a squeaking noise, like fuel sloshing against the inner walls. Geely later launched a service campaign in 2023 to reinforce the fuel tank brackets and internal padding. After my car was serviced at the dealership, it became much quieter. The newer batches now rarely have this issue, but if you own an older model, I recommend visiting a service center to check the connecting components or replace the seals. If you want to handle it yourself, you can add a soft pad to secure it and avoid discomfort during long drives. Geely responded fairly promptly—it’s kind of a half-solution, but it’s still worth keeping an eye on.
As experienced car repair professionals, we are familiar with the causes of fuel tank rattling in Xingrui models, which are mostly due to loose internal tank design or loose mounting bolts causing resonance. After Geely released a technical solution in late 2023, the rattling issue has been significantly reduced. Now, owners can simply visit a 4S shop for tightening adjustments or replacement with the new-style fuel tank to resolve it. The cost is not high, usually just a few hundred yuan. If the noise persists, check for fuel pump or bracket aging issues. Overall, the problem is largely under control, but regular maintenance can prevent recurrence and ensure smooth, worry-free driving.
