What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2017 Mazda3 Axela?

The fuel tank capacity of the 2017 Mazda3 Axela is 51 liters. It measures 4469mm in length, 1795mm in width, and 1474mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. The maximum horsepower is 117ps, the maximum power is 86kw, the torque is 148nm, and it features a 6-speed manual transmission. In the same class, the 2021 Xingrui 2.0TD Elite has a fuel tank capacity of 50L, while the 2022 Civic 180TURBO CVT Shangdong Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 47L. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated volume. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is still some space from the safety limit 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 tank. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the marked tank capacity. If the owner wants to know the remaining fuel level, 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 near F, it indicates sufficient fuel.
I used to drive a 2017 Mazda3 (Axela), which had a fuel tank capacity of about 51 liters, which is quite standard for compact cars. I remember that with a full tank, if the car was in good condition and the fuel consumption was around 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers, it could run over 600 kilometers, which was more than enough for daily commuting. I always worried about not finding a gas station on the highway, but this capacity allowed me to refuel just once a week, saving a lot of hassle. Also, in cold weather, fuel expands, so don’t fill it up too much to avoid issues. After a year or two of driving, I’d recommend checking the fuel tank cap’s seal to prevent leaks and save money. Overall, the design was quite thoughtful, balancing economy and practicality, making it worry-free even for longer trips.
