How many liters can a car fuel tank generally hold?

Generally, the fuel tank capacity of small cars is 35-45 liters, while that of medium-sized cars is 55-75 liters. After filling up the tank, the car can usually travel about 500 kilometers. Depending on the car's displacement, a higher fuel consumption corresponds to a larger tank, and a lower fuel consumption corresponds to a smaller tank. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated volume. This is because the fuel tank volume marked by car manufacturers is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is still some space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow the fuel in the tank to expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the tank's safe space. If the fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the calibrated tank volume. If the owner wants to know the remaining fuel in the tank, they can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard, which is marked with E and F. When the pointer is close to E, it means the fuel is almost empty, and when it is close to F, it means the fuel level is sufficient.
