What is the capacity of a car fuel tank?
1 Answers
The fuel tank capacity varies among different car models. Generally, the fuel tank capacity of family sedans ranges between 35 to 55 liters, while mid-size sedans and mid-size SUVs typically have a capacity between 55 to 70 liters. Large SUVs can have fuel tanks with a capacity of up to 100 liters. The fuel tank capacity usually refers to the maximum capacity as announced by the car manufacturer. The fuel tank capacity is a measure of a car's ability to carry gasoline. A larger fuel tank capacity indicates a longer driving range for the car, as well as stronger power, which can reduce the frequency of refueling. When refueling, it is advisable not to fill the tank completely, as overfilling (e.g., when the fuel nozzle automatically stops) can increase the car's weight unnecessarily.
