What is the actual capacity of the Corolla Hybrid's 43-liter fuel tank?
2 Answers
Toyota Corolla Hybrid's actual fuel tank capacity is approximately 45 liters. Below are some relevant details about automotive fuel: 1. Before refueling, turn off the engine and ensure all doors and windows are closed. The fuel type is unleaded gasoline, and ethanol-blended gasoline with up to 10% ethanol content is permitted. 2. The Toyota Corolla Hybrid uses unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 92 or higher. Toyota allows the use of ethanol-blended gasoline with up to 10% ethanol content, provided the octane rating of the ethanol gasoline meets the aforementioned standard. 3. Frequently mixing gasoline from Sinopec and PetroChina brands may lead to carbon deposits and affect engine performance, as the two brands differ in refining processes, standards, and additives.
As a long-time hybrid owner, my dual-engine car's fuel tank actually stops filling after about 38 liters despite the 43-liter labeled capacity. This leaves roughly 5 liters of safety space to prevent gasoline expansion/contraction overflow. Never force-fill after the pump stops - this could flood the charcoal canister. The hybrid tank also has an irregular shape with dedicated battery compartment space at the bottom, both affecting capacity. For accurate range calculation, multiply 38 liters by your fuel consumption - mine averages 4.5L/100km with AC, typically achieving 800+ km per tank.
