What is the fuel tank capacity of the Accord in liters?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Accord is 70 liters, and it is recommended to use 92-octane fuel. The tank capacity indicates the vehicle's ability to carry fuel. Generally, compact cars have a fuel tank capacity of 35 to 45 liters, while mid-size cars have a capacity of around 55 to 75 liters. A full tank typically allows for a driving range of approximately 500 kilometers. The size of the fuel tank correlates with the vehicle's fuel consumption; larger tanks are for higher-consumption vehicles, and smaller tanks for more fuel-efficient ones. The design of automotive fuel tanks usually supports a driving range of 400 to 600 kilometers. The 2018 tenth-generation all-new Accord has body dimensions of 4893mm in length, 1862mm in width, 1449mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2830mm.
This question reminds me of my experience driving an Accord. The fuel tank is about 56 liters, which is quite spacious. A full tank can easily last for 600-700 kilometers, and with my average fuel consumption of 7.5 liters per 100 km, it can last over a week for my daily commute, saving a lot of time refueling. Different model years of the Accord are generally consistent, like the 2018 and 2022 models I’ve tried, both with 56-liter tanks. Only the hybrid version might have a slightly smaller 50-liter tank but offers higher efficiency and lower fuel consumption. The fuel tank is well-designed, not taking up rear seat space, making it practical for long road trips without worrying about frequent refueling. I recommend refueling before the low-fuel warning light comes on to protect the fuel pump from dry running and damage. Regularly checking the fuel system’s seals can also extend its lifespan. Overall, the Accord strikes a great balance between fuel economy and convenience.
