How many liters of fuel can a Civic hold?
2 Answers
Civic's fuel tank capacity is 47 liters, and it uses 92-octane gasoline. Standards for fuel tank capacity: Generally, the fuel tank capacity indicated in a car's manual is smaller than the actual refueling volume. This discrepancy exists because the manufacturer's specified tank volume is measured from the tank bottom to the safety level, with additional space remaining from the safety level to the tank opening. This extra space ensures that fuel expansion due to temperature increases won't cause overflow, maintaining safety. Fuel level sensor: Different car models have varying fuel tank capacities, and even similar models from different brands differ in tank volume due to the absence of national standards. In daily use, drivers typically monitor fuel consumption and remaining levels through the data displayed by the fuel level sensor on the gauge.
I've been driving a Civic for many years, and I remember the fuel tank capacity is usually around 40 liters, but it varies slightly depending on the specific model. For example, the older 2018 version I drive can hold about 37 to 38 liters when fully filled—don’t overfill it, leave some space to account for fuel expansion. I usually choose reputable gas stations to ensure fuel quality and minimize issues, saving money and staying safe. For fuel efficiency, I refuel every two weeks and try to maintain a steady speed to avoid high RPMs. In city driving, it’s around 8 liters per 100 kilometers, so a full tank can comfortably cover 400 kilometers. Remember to check the dashboard regularly and refuel before the fuel light comes on, or the fuel pump could get damaged.
