How Much Fuel Should Be Put in a Car's Gas Tank?

[AshlynLynn]

The volume marked on the fuel tank is not the actual maximum volume, but the maximum reasonable volume. A standard fuel tank can hold 10% to 15% more gasoline or diesel than the marked volume. For example, a 60-liter fuel tank can hold up to 75 liters. Here is some relevant information about the accuracy of fuel quantity: 1. It cannot be determined based on the rated capacity of the fuel tank. A car fuel tank is a container (not classified as a measuring instrument by the state) and cannot be used as a basis for judging measurement accuracy. According to mandatory national standards, the rated capacity of a car fuel tank should be controlled at 95% of the maximum safe capacity. 2. It cannot be determined based on the fuel gauge on the car dashboard. Most car fuel gauges operate via a float inside the tank that moves up and down, driving an electronic sensor. The sensor sends an electronic signal to the fuel gauge needle, which displays the reading on the gauge. However, the error margin is significant, and the markings on the fuel gauge cannot accurately reflect the actual fuel level in the tank.
