How many liters of fuel can a 60-liter fuel tank hold?
2 Answers
A 60-liter fuel tank can hold up to 75 liters of fuel. In addition to storing fuel, the fuel tank in a hydraulic system also serves functions such as heat dissipation, separating air bubbles from the oil, and settling impurities. The fuel tank is equipped with many auxiliary components, such as coolers, heaters, air filters, and liquid level gauges. Below is an introduction to 92 and 95 gasoline: 92 gasoline: 92 gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane. 95 gasoline: 95 gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. When the pistons in the engine cylinders move, gasoline and air mix and compress inside the cylinders. If the pressure is too high, knocking can occur.
A friend asked me about this before, and I've thought about it. A 60-liter fuel tank might actually only hold around 55 liters when full, because the tank always reserves some space—roughly 10%—to account for fuel expansion due to temperature changes or gas in the fuel lines. When I first got my new car and filled it up for the first time, the gauge showed empty, but it took less than 60 liters to fill up. I later learned this was a safety design. Usually, there's no need to force a full tank—just stop when the pump clicks off. It's easier and protects the carbon canister system. Always trying to top it off just wastes money on fuel. For city driving, it's better to keep the tank half full to reduce fuel consumption. Ignoring the remaining fuel level for long periods can also accelerate fuel pump wear and make repairs more troublesome.
