How much fuel is left when the fuel tank warning light comes on in the Baojun 730?
2 Answers
If the fuel tank warning light comes on, most vehicles can still run for about 30 kilometers. Therefore, the remaining fuel is approximately 1.5 liters. The Baojun 730 has a fuel tank capacity of 52 liters, so the standard full tank is also 52 liters. However, for safety reasons, it is best not to fill the tank completely. Filling the tank to the brim can be harmful to the carbon canister, as the entire tank will be filled with gasoline, and the evaporated gasoline will enter the carbon canister, which over time can affect the performance of the activated charcoal. Additional Information: Note 1: The size of the fuel tank is directly related to the vehicle's fuel consumption. Generally, a full tank can support a range of over 500 kilometers. For example, a vehicle with a fuel consumption of 10 liters per 100 kilometers typically has a fuel tank capacity of around 60 liters. Note 2: Different vehicle models have different fuel tank capacities, and even within the same category, different brands may have varying tank sizes, as there is no national standard. However, most automobile manufacturers follow a general rule that a full tank should support a range of about 600 kilometers, and not less than 500 kilometers.
I have several years of experience driving the Baojun 730. When the fuel gauge warning light comes on, the remaining fuel is usually no more than around 8 liters. Based on my driving records, the 730 has a fuel tank capacity of 52 liters, with the low-fuel warning set at approximately 10% remaining, so it's common to have 5 to 7 liters left. With an average fuel consumption of 7 liters per 100 kilometers, this means you can still drive about 50 to 70 kilometers further. I remember one long trip where I pushed it to 58 kilometers after the light came on before refueling, which gave me quite a scare. However, in city traffic with frequent stops, the remaining fuel depletes faster—once, I only made it 40 kilometers before running empty. So now, as soon as the light comes on, I immediately navigate to the nearest gas station to avoid pushing it too far and risking fuel pump damage. It's also a good habit to refuel when the tank is half full—this protects the engine, saves hassle, and extends component lifespan, which is much better than waiting for the warning light. After all, regular maintenance keeps car troubles at bay.
