How many liters of fuel can a 60-liter fuel tank hold at most?
1 Answers
A 60-liter fuel tank can hold up to 75 liters of fuel. Fuel filling standards: The accuracy of fuel filling cannot be determined based on the rated capacity of the fuel tank. Automotive fuel tanks are containers and are not classified as measuring instruments by national regulations, hence they cannot serve as a basis for judging measurement accuracy. According to mandatory national standards, the rated capacity of an automotive fuel tank should be controlled at 95% of its maximum safe capacity. The fuel gauge on the dashboard is not a reliable indicator either, as most vehicle fuel gauges operate via a float inside the tank that moves an electronic sensor. This sensor sends electronic signals to the gauge needle, displaying the fuel level with significant potential for error. The markings on the fuel gauge do not accurately reflect the actual fuel quantity in the tank. Hazards of overfilling the fuel tank: Overfilling a vehicle's fuel tank can first lead to fuel leakage, potentially causing a fire. Secondly, it can easily block the tank's vent hole. Once the vent is blocked, negative pressure develops inside the tank, leading to poor fuel supply or even a complete cutoff. Thirdly, it can damage the carbon canister. If the tank is overfilled, liquid gasoline instead of vapor may enter the carbon canister, causing harm to this component.
