What is the fuel tank capacity of a sedan?
1 Answers
The fuel tank capacity varies depending on the vehicle model. Small cars typically have a fuel tank capacity of 35-45 liters, while mid-sized cars have a capacity of around 55-75 liters. Some large full-size SUVs may even exceed 100 liters. How to check the fuel tank capacity: Generally, you can observe the reading on the fuel gauge inside the car. Normally, the fuel gauge has 5-6 segments, with each segment representing the remaining fuel capacity in the tank. It is recommended to refuel when there are only two segments left to avoid running out of fuel while driving. Here is some related information about fuel tank capacity: The standard fuel tank capacity listed in the vehicle specifications is not the maximum capacity. According to international standards, liters (L) are used as the unit of measurement for fuel tank capacity, and different countries and regions have their own standards. In China, national regulations specify that the nominal fuel tank capacity must not exceed 95% of the actual capacity. This means the labeled capacity can be smaller but not larger than the actual capacity. Therefore, the actual fuel tank capacity is usually larger than the nominal capacity. With a full tank, the maximum driving range is typically 400-600 kilometers. The fuel tank size is generally proportional to the vehicle's fuel consumption, with larger tanks for more fuel-consuming vehicles and smaller tanks for more fuel-efficient ones, except for some off-road vehicles.
