How much fuel should be added to a car at one time?

It is not advisable to fill the fuel tank completely. When the amount of gasoline added exceeds the tank capacity too much, it can easily enter and block the vent hole. Once the vent hole is blocked, it poses a safety hazard. Relevant information about gasoline is as follows: 1. Introduction: Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid distilled and cracked from petroleum, used as fuel. It appears as a transparent liquid, is flammable, and has a distillation range of 30°C to 220°C. 2. Important characteristics: The key properties of gasoline include volatility, stability, anti-knock quality, corrosiveness, and cleanliness.
How much fuel to add at a time is actually a science. As a veteran driver with over 20 years of experience, I personally prefer filling up the tank completely each time. Why? Firstly, frequent trips to the gas station waste considerable time – just think about the round trip plus waiting in line, which easily takes half an hour, a luxury for working professionals like us. Secondly, isn't fuel price constantly rising? Filling up during low-price periods locks in costs and avoids paying more next time. Moreover, a full tank doesn't significantly impact fuel consumption; modern vehicles are lightweight, and an extra 10-20 pounds of fuel weight hardly affects mileage. Of course, tank capacity matters – compact cars need 30-40 liters when full, while large SUVs can hold 60-70 liters. I recommend refueling when the gauge shows one-quarter remaining, turning it into a regular habit for convenience.
