Has the fuel tank noise issue of the Geely Xingrui been resolved?
2 Answers
There is currently no solution for the fuel tank noise issue in the Xingrui. Relevant information is as follows: Introduction: As the first model of Geely's 4.0 era, the Xingrui carries the important mission of Geely's high-end transformation. After its launch, it quickly became a dark horse in the market with its "disruptor" stance, featuring a size comparable to mid-size cars, a 2.0T high-performance engine, and a price similar to compact cars. Powertrain: The most notable highlight of the Xingrui is its powertrain, which includes the same Volvo 2.0TD T4 engine, delivering a maximum power of 190 horsepower and a maximum torque of 300Nm.
With twenty years of car repair experience, I've encountered fuel tank noise issues quite often. Early versions of the Geely Xingrui had owners reporting gurgling sounds from the fuel tank, especially when turning or on bumpy roads. This is usually caused by fuel sloshing resonance or loose fuel tank mounting screws. For the newer Xingrui models, such as those after 2023, Geely has optimized the chassis design, reinforced the fuel tank brackets, and improved fuel line sealing, which has basically resolved the noise issue. If you still encounter it, it's recommended to check whether the fuel cap is tightened properly and if the fuel pump is aging, as fuel tank problems can affect driving safety and comfort. During regular maintenance, have technicians test the fuel pressure system with equipment to prevent potential hazards. It's best to go to an authorized 4S dealership for repairs, as they have original parts and diagnostic programs.
