What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2016 Baojun 730?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the 2016 Baojun 730 is 52 liters. The powertrain of the Baojun 730 still consists of a 1.5T manual transmission and a 1.8L AMT. This 1.5T engine is independently developed by Wuling. The engine block of Wuling uses cast iron, while Buick uses aluminum. The fuel supply method of Wuling is multi-point injection. The characteristic of this 1.5T engine lies in its abundant low-end torque. From the moment of starting, the briskness of the power has surpassed the previous 1.8L engine. In comparison, the fuel tank capacity of the Lingzhi 2022 M5 in the same class is 55 liters, and the Wuling Hongguang PLUS 2021 commercial version has a fuel tank capacity of 53 liters. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated volume. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is from the bottom of the tank to the safety level. There is still some space from the safety level to the tank opening. This space is reserved to ensure that the fuel in the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the safety space of the tank. If the fuel is filled to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount will be larger than the calibrated fuel tank capacity. If the owner wants to know the remaining fuel in the tank, they can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard, which is marked with E and F. When the pointer is close to E, it means the fuel is almost empty, and when it is close to F, it means the fuel is sufficient.
I used to drive a 2016 Baojun 730, and I remember its fuel tank capacity was about 52 liters. This capacity isn’t particularly large, but it’s sufficient for daily use. For my daily commute in the city, I usually refuel once a week, and a full tank can last around 500 kilometers. The fuel consumption is decent and not too costly. However, on long trips, especially on highways, you need to be more mindful as the shorter range requires planning fuel stops in advance. The fuel tank is made of plastic, which is lightweight and durable, but I recommend checking it regularly for leaks or deformations. Don’t skimp on fuel quality—just use 92-octane gasoline. This information is crucial when buying a used car; check the owner’s manual or confirm with a dealership to avoid future hassles.
