What is the actual fuel tank capacity of the Classic Sylphy in liters?
2 Answers
The official parameter configuration table of the Classic Sylphy indicates a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. Fuel tank capacity refers to the size of the fuel tank, measuring a vehicle's ability to carry fuel. The fuel tank capacity determines the driving range. For two cars with identical engines, the larger the fuel tank, the farther the car can travel. Related details are as follows: 1. Fuel consumption: The size of the fuel tank is directly related to the vehicle's fuel consumption. Generally, a full tank of fuel can support a driving distance of over 500 kilometers. For example, a car with a fuel consumption of 10 liters per 100 kilometers typically has a fuel tank capacity of around 60 liters. Different car models have varying fuel tank capacities, and even similar models from different brands may have different fuel tank capacities since there is no national standard. However, most car manufacturers follow a general rule: a full tank of fuel should support a driving distance of approximately 600 kilometers, not less than 500 kilometers. 2. Actual capacity: The actual fuel tank capacity is greater than the nominal capacity. According to fuel safety regulations, the national standard stipulates that the nominal capacity of a car's fuel tank is 95% of the rated capacity. Therefore, when filling up, the actual fuel quantity can exceed the nominal capacity by up to 10%.
I've been driving a classic Nissan Sylphy for over three years now, frequently taking long-distance trips, so I'm quite familiar with its fuel tank. The official rated fuel tank capacity is 50 liters, but in actual refueling situations, you'll notice that from empty to when the fuel gauge hits bottom, it typically takes about 48-49 liters to fill up completely. This is because a safety margin is designed to prevent overflow. On a full tank, I can drive over 400 kilometers with an average fuel consumption of around 7 liters per 100 kilometers, which is quite fuel-efficient. I'd advise against always filling the tank to the brim, as the increased pressure can affect the tank's lifespan. In daily use, the fuel tank capacity directly impacts the driving range. Once, I forgot to refuel before a highway trip and nearly ran out of gas, so now I set reminders on my phone. Don't underestimate this capacity—it's related to the vehicle's weight balance. The car feels more stable when the tank is full.
