What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2016 CR-V in liters?
1 Answers
2016 CR-V fuel tank capacity is 58 liters. Here are the relevant details: Fuel tank used: The Honda CR-V uses an engineering plastic fuel tank. Most modern vehicles now use plastic fuel tanks, which aligns with the industry trend of reducing vehicle weight and improving fuel efficiency. Advantages of plastic fuel tanks: The debate between metal and plastic materials for automotive fuel tanks has been ongoing. Many believe that welded metal tanks are more prone to rupture at the seams upon impact, potentially leading to fuel leaks and a higher risk of fire or explosion. In contrast, plastic fuel tanks are formed through a single blow-molding process, and the engineering plastic material offers superior impact resistance and better protection against deformation and cracking. Although more expensive, plastic tanks provide enhanced safety.
