What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2012 Focus?

[LeAliyah]

2012 Focus models all have a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, and all variants come with either a dry dual-clutch transmission (DCT) or manual transmission (MT). All models feature front-engine, front-wheel-drive configuration. Starting from the 2021 model year, the Focus's fuel tank capacity has been slightly reduced. Both the 2021 Focus Hatchback EcoBoost180 Automatic Trend Edition and the 2021 Focus Sedan 1.5L Manual Trend Edition have a fuel tank capacity of 53 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the nominal capacity. This occurs because automakers measure tank capacity from the tank bottom to the safe fill level, leaving additional space between the safe fill level and the tank opening. This safety space allows for fuel expansion during temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening, the actual refueled amount will exceed the nominal capacity. To check remaining fuel, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument cluster, marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle approaches E, it indicates low fuel level, while nearing F shows sufficient fuel.
