What is the fuel tank capacity of a 2008 Camry in liters?
2 Answers
The 2008 Camry offers five models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 70 liters. The vehicles are equipped with either a 2.0-liter or 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine, paired with a 4-speed automatic or 5-speed automatic manual transmission. All models feature a front-engine, front-wheel-drive configuration. Starting from the 2015 model year, the Camry's fuel tank capacity was reduced. The 2015 and 2016 models have a 65-liter tank, while the 2018, 2019, and 2021 models feature a 60-liter tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the nominal capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, with additional space remaining from the safe fill level to the tank opening. This extra space accommodates fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual fuel quantity may exceed the nominal tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, owners can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with 'E' (Empty) and 'F' (Full). When the needle approaches 'E', it indicates low fuel, while nearing 'F' signifies sufficient fuel.
I remember driving an 08 Camry, which had a fuel tank capacity of around 70 liters. In my personal usage, a full tank could cover nearly 800 kilometers, which was quite hassle-free. Since I frequently travel for business, fuel tank size directly impacts long-distance travel comfort—if it's too small, frequent refueling stops become annoying; with 70 liters, one full tank typically lasts a week for city commuting. However, I should remind you not to exceed the tank's maximum capacity when refueling, as overfilling can damage the fuel pump and waste money on gas. Also, with older vehicles, the fuel gauge might become inaccurate over time, so I recommend regular checks on the fuel system. Overall, the Camry's fuel tank design is quite reasonable for daily driving, especially for frequent users like me. A 70-liter capacity filled with 95-octane fuel offers decent fuel economy.
