What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2004 Corolla?

The 2004 Corolla has a total of 10 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The vehicles are equipped with 2.0-liter and 2.3-liter naturally aspirated engines, and all models use a 4-speed automatic transmission. All models feature a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. The 2005, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, and 2004 Corolla models have the same fuel tank capacity, all at 50 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the automaker 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 allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, owners can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with 'E' and 'F'. When the needle is close to 'E', it indicates low fuel, while nearing 'F' means the fuel level is sufficient.
I remember the 2004 Toyota Corolla had a fuel tank capacity of around 50 liters, as I drove this model for several years. A full tank could typically cover over 700 kilometers, with an average fuel consumption of about 7 liters per 100 kilometers. It was quite worry-free to drive, especially during long trips, as I didn't have to worry about running out of fuel midway. I usually chose reputable gas stations for refueling to avoid engine issues caused by fuel impurities. The fuel tank capacity was reasonably designed, but it's not advisable to let the fuel warning light stay on for too long, as it could harm the fuel pump. I recommend checking the fuel tank seals every six months to prevent aging and leaks, which helps extend the vehicle's lifespan. Overall, as an economical sedan, its practicality was outstanding.
