How to Calculate Car Fuel Tank Capacity?
1 Answers
Methods for calculating car fuel tank capacity: Taking a regular rectangular fuel tank as an example, with a width of 58cm, height of 58cm, and length of 110cm, the tank capacity equals 58 multiplied by 58 multiplied by 110, which is 370,040 cubic centimeters. Since 1 liter equals 1,000 cubic centimeters, this converts to approximately 370 liters. Typically, the size of the fuel tank is used to measure a vehicle's fuel-carrying capacity. However, the actual capacity of the fuel tank is often larger than the nominal capacity. The fuel tank volume determines the driving range; for two cars with identical engines, the one with the larger fuel tank can travel farther. The fuel tank consists of a tank body and a fuel cap, used to store gasoline. The number and capacity of fuel tanks vary by vehicle model; ordinary cars usually have one fuel tank, while off-road vehicles often have two.
