What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2008 Buick?
2 Answers
The 2008 Buick Excelle has a total of 15 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters. The vehicles are equipped with 1.6L and 1.8L naturally aspirated engines, and all models use either a 4-speed automatic or 5-speed manual transmission. All models feature front-engine, front-wheel-drive configuration. The fuel tank capacity for the 2011, 2013, and 2015 Buick Excelle models remains at 60 liters. Starting from the 2018 model year, the fuel tank capacity of the Buick Excelle was reduced to 40 liters for both the 2018 and 2020 models. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety level. There is additional space from the safety 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 fuel quantity may exceed the marked capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers 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 tank is nearly full.
I used to drive an old 2008 Buick LaCrosse, and I remember its fuel tank capacity was about 68 liters, as filling it up allowed me to easily cover over 600 kilometers on long trips. As an owner, I found that tank size directly affects driving range—in city driving, it might drop to around 450 kilometers. For maintenance, I recommend checking the fuel pump and filter screen monthly, rather than waiting until the fuel gauge becomes inaccurate to fix it. This Buick model strikes a balance between space utilization and fuel efficiency; although the capacity is fixed, the high engine efficiency helps save some fuel. If the model is different, such as an Enclave SUV, the tank might be closer to 70 liters—it's best to verify with the owner's manual or dealership data.
