What is the fuel tank capacity of the A4 in liters?
2 Answers
A4 currently has 5 models on sale. The quattro version has a fuel tank capacity of 58L, while other versions have a capacity of 54L. This data is announced by the automaker. The A4 requires 95-octane fuel. The quattro version has a fuel consumption of 7.9L per 100km, allowing a range of 734km on a full tank. Other versions consume 6.6L per 100km, providing a range of 818km on a full tank. During daily driving, it's essential to monitor the remaining fuel level. This is typically done by reading the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the gauge accurately reflects the fuel level. The fuel gauge usually has 5-6 segments, and it's recommended to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel might exceed the nominal capacity. This is because manufacturers specify the tank capacity from the bottom to the safe fill level, leaving additional space from the safe level to the tank opening. This safety space accommodates fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening, the actual refueled amount may exceed the nominal capacity.
As a seasoned driver who's owned several A4s, let me share some insights about fuel tanks. The standard A4 typically has a fuel tank capacity ranging between 54-58 liters—most A4L models, for instance, come with a 54-liter tank. However, the exact size depends on your specific model's configuration and year; imported or high-performance versions might be slightly larger. When refueling, don't fixate solely on the liter count—pay closer attention to the fuel gauge. Once it hits the quarter mark, start looking for a gas station. I once miscalculated my range on a long trip, assuming it was just enough, only to nearly run dry in traffic. So, no matter how big your tank is, always leave some margin for emergencies—a hard-earned lesson from this old driver.
