How Much Fuel Should You Add to Your Car?

[MirandaFitz]

Automobile manufacturers indicate a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters, taking into account the fuel expansion coefficient. It is reasonable to keep the fuel level below 60 liters to provide sufficient space for fuel expansion due to temperature increases and to ensure the safety of the fuel tank during use. Below is an introduction to the maximum and minimum fuel filling levels: 1. Hazards of filling the tank too low: Many people believe they can wait until the fuel gauge light comes on before refueling, thinking there is still plenty of fuel left. Generally, when the fuel light comes on, it means the fuel level has dropped below the fuel pump, and the tank is nearly empty. When the fuel level is too low, sediment at the bottom of the tank can be drawn into the fuel supply, easily causing fuel line blockages or clogging the fuel pump. 2. Dangers of overfilling the tank: Many car owners are accustomed to filling the tank to the brim or until the pump automatically stops. However, this practice can be quite dangerous in summer. Overfilling can cause fuel to expand and overflow due to thermal expansion, and it can also damage the carbon canister. Excess fuel may flow into the carbon canister along with fuel vapors, leading to damage.
