What is the fuel tank capacity of a Polo?
1 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Volkswagen Polo is 42.5 liters, which is the officially announced data. Owners who have purchased a Volkswagen Polo can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Volkswagen Polo uses 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 5.5 liters per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel allows for a driving range of approximately 772 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level. There is additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening, which is designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
