How many liters of fuel does the Accent fuel tank hold?

The 2011 Accent 1.4 manual White-collar model has a fuel tank capacity of 45L. It is equipped with a 1.4L naturally aspirated engine, a 5-speed manual transmission (MT), and features front-wheel drive. The front suspension is of the MacPherson independent type, while the rear suspension is a torsion beam non-independent type. In the same vehicle class, the 2020 K2 1.4L automatic Comfort Sunroof version has a fuel tank capacity of 43L, and the 2021 All New Q1 1.3L automatic Comfort model has a fuel tank capacity of 45L. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level. There is additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with 'E' and 'F'. When the needle is close to 'E', it indicates low fuel, while nearing 'F' means the tank is nearly full.
The fuel tank capacity of the Accent is typically around 45 liters, depending on the model year. I've been using the Accent for several years, and the older 2015 model has a 45-liter tank. When refueling after the fuel light comes on, you can usually fill about 42-43 liters, and when the fuel gauge shows empty, you can still drive around 30 kilometers. The average fuel consumption in the city is about 7 liters per 100 kilometers, so a full tank can last around 650 kilometers. On the highway, it drops to about 6 liters per 100 kilometers, allowing for even longer distances. I recommend not waiting until the tank is completely empty to refuel, as it can damage the fuel pump and filter. For regular refueling, choose reputable gas stations—92-octane gasoline is sufficient, so don’t be tricked into buying more expensive fuel. This saves money and ensures peace of mind. Regular maintenance and checking the fuel tank system for leaks can extend the car's lifespan.
