How many liters does it take to fill up a Civic's fuel tank?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity for all Civic models is 47 liters when completely filled. The vehicle's engine features a turbocharged intake system, with a MacPherson strut front suspension and front-wheel drive configuration. Among vehicles in the same class, the Xingrui 2021 2.0TD Elite model has a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, while the Sagitar 2022 200TSI Manual Flyover Edition also has a 50-liter fuel tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This occurs because automakers specify tank capacity from the tank bottom to the safe fill level, leaving additional space between this level and the tank opening. This safety margin accommodates fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled to the tank opening during refueling, the actual fuel quantity may exceed the specified tank capacity. To check remaining fuel levels, owners can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle approaches E, fuel is nearly depleted; near F indicates sufficient fuel supply.
As a Civic owner for several years, I remember the fuel tank capacity is around 47 liters when full, but the exact figure depends on your specific model. For example, the sedan version usually has this capacity. However, when driving in the city, a full tank can last over 700 kilometers, with an average fuel consumption of about 6.5L/100km. It's not recommended to only fill up half the tank each time, as this can cause the fuel pump to overheat. A full tank actually helps reduce air mixing and prevents impurities. Before long trips, I always check the fuel tank condition to ensure there are no leaks or blockages. Additionally, the Civic has excellent fuel efficiency. Compared to other compact cars, its tank isn't particularly large, but it's very fuel-efficient, making it reliable for daily use. If you've just bought a new car, I suggest checking the manual to confirm the specific data for your model to avoid any awkward situations when refueling.
